"Global trade and investment rules have not reduced poverty around the globe. Nor have they protected our fragile ecosystems and promoted human rights. We are working with civil society around the world to build a new global system that puts people and communities first, supports family farmers and the environment, and ensures that everyone has enough to eat." Alexandra Spieldoch Trade and Global Governance works to democratize the multilateral system of policymaking. We strengthen the voice of civil society by linking social movements working on trade, finance, development, peace and security, human rights, labor, gender, the environment and corporate accountability.
