Hundreds of organisations across the world have joined together to mark Stop EPAs Day (September 27) and call for trade agreements that work for the needs of the poorest.
In the UK, 17 Christian leaders, including Tearfund president Dr Elaine Storkey, have written to Secretary of State for International Development, Douglas Alexander, calling on him to ensure that negotiations 'result in trade agreements that help to bring about justice', and warning that current negotiations 'threaten to undermine recent progress towards making poverty history'.

Tearfund is encouraging campaigners to mark the day, which coincides with the fifth anniversary of the launch of the negotiations, to add their voices to the thousands worldwide by writing to their MP. Click here to take action.
