Public Health Related Nonprofit | Trade Justice Education Fund

Unfair, corporate-centered trade policies prioritize private profits over global health, and have made the world less resilient in the face of COVID-19 and other global diseases. We promote just trade policies that eliminate pharmaceutical monopolies’ stranglehold on life-saving vaccines, tests and treatments.
