Be a trade hero

In June there will be European Parliament elections taking place across all 27 EU member states.

This is a key opportunity to make European trade work better for the environment and the world's poorest people.

Groups in the UK and across Europe will be calling on candidates for the European Parliament to support a rethink of Europe's trade policy.

Between now and 4 June we need your help in convincing as many candidates as possible to sign our Trade Hero pledge.

The pledge commits them to taking action on EU trade if they are elected to the European Parliament.

MEPs are accountable to you, the electorate, and must represent your views and concerns.

The European Parliament elections are your main opportunity to make your voice heard in how the EU is run.
