Stop EPAs
Help stop unfair trade agreements which threaten the futures of 750 million people worldwide - support the Stop EPAs campaign.
With world trade talks deadlocked, the UK has turned its attention to new trade deals between Europe and its former colonies.

As part of the European Union, the UK government is trying to push some of the world's poorest countries into free trade deals that will make them even poorer. Help us to stop this injustice now.
