Turn Around the WTO!

Ten years ago, citizen activists shut down the World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial in Seattle to protest the devastating impact of the WTO's corporate globalization agenda on our jobs, wages and the environment. Now, big corporations are back at it, again pushing an expansion of the WTO's power.

Please take a moment to use the form below to sign our petition to President Obama urging him to deliver on his campaign promises to fix our failed trade policy, including a turnaround of the WTO.

Turn Around the WTO!

Dear President Obama:

Ten years ago in Seattle, Americans protesting the devastating impact of the WTO's corporate globalization agenda on our jobs, wages and the environment stopped a WTO expansion plan. Now, big corporations are back at it again. Their “Doha Round” WTO expansion will hurt us economically, increase the flood of unsafe imports and undermine efforts to reregulate the banks and stabilize our economy. The economic crisis has painfully demonstrated that the current rules of the global economy have failed us. Time is overdue to turnaround the WTO. We supported your campaign commitments to create a new trade policy that works for all of us, not just the special interests. That is why we are calling on you to replace Bush's more-of-the-same WTO expansion agenda. We’re ready to fight for a WTO turnaround plan we hope you will lead.
We will add your signature from the information you provide.
