Take part in our workshop, a practical training which will prepare you take an active part in an EU wide campaign to get constituents talking to their MEP candidates.

The workshop will particularly focus on the unfair trade deals the EU is trying to negotiate with developing countries and on EU trade policy.
(Please don’t be put off by the trade bit – it’s not as complicated as you think!)

The workshop will be participatory and interactive, and supported by a beautiful lobby pack with lots more detail and information on the issues involved.

We all need to ensure our EU representatives work to bring about an EU which puts sustainable development and global justice at the heart of all of its policies.

Visit Comhlamh - Talk to your MEP about Trade Justice for more information. Please email fleachta@comhlamh.org to book your place on the course.

A Dublin workshop takes place tonight - see thread above.

If you can't make the workshop but would like to become involved you can find more details and download or lobbying tools here:

Corruption, tin pot dictators, African "Big Man" syndrome and an unwillingness to free up markets. Nothing to do with me in other words.
