Democracy Vs TTIP - London Solidarity. April15th Day of Action. 
Global Justice Now. 
At its heart, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is an assault on democracy. So, on the international day of action on 18 April, we are responding to this corporate power grab through enacting democracy ourselves – let this be our Day of Dissent*!

‘Democracy vs TTIP’ will feature an open, participatory assembly on TTIP, followed by a series of creative actions to highlight the threat TTIP poses to our NHS, food and environmental protection. We will use the day to reach out widely to the public, bringing to light an issue that is so crucial to us all but invisible to so many.

Speakers at the assembly will include John Hilary (War on Want), Jean Lambert MEP (Green Party), Guy Taylor (Global Justice Now), Blanche Jones (38Degrees), Sam Lowe (Friends of the Earth), Gay Lee (Keep Our NHS Public), and more TBC.

It will be an exciting day. Join us!
