Dear friends,
One year ago who could have foreseen that opposition to mega murky free trade agreements would see the birth of a global movement; mobilising tens of thousands of people onto the streets around the world? Well that's what happened first on 11 October 2014 and again just now on 18 April 2015!
From places as diverse as Hawaii to Argentina, the USA, Europe, Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, Korea and even Fiji, citizens in 46 countries or across 5 continents expressed a vehement, creative and insisting no to TPP, TTIP, CETA and their siblings.
In Europe alone tens of thousands of people marched in Madrid, Munich, Paris, Vienna and many other cities. Globally 734 actions were organized and roughly 650 of them took place in Europe. Compared to the global day of action in October, the number of events increased, as did the number of participating countries.
On 18 April citizens and volunteers collected thousands of signatures for the Stop TTIP ECI. Between 8-10 June the European parliament will vote on a TTIP-resolution and it would be both; great and important if we could reach our target of two million signatures by the time of the vote.
