About

The Trade Justice Education Fund is a nonprofit working to expand awareness about the worker rights, environmental and climate, consumer and public health implications of U.S. trade policy.

Our immediate campaign goals include: ensuring that strong, easily-enforced labor, environmental and consumer protections become central parts of any and all trade agreements; preventing governments and corporations from using outdated trade rules to attack climate measures; shining a spotlight on Big Tech’s attempts to use “digital trade” negotiations to undermine personal privacy, AI accountability and worker rights; removing trade rule roadblocks to increased global production of lifesaving vaccines, therapeutics and medical diagnostics; and increasing transparency and public participation in trade policymaking processes.

With deep roots in the labor, environmental, family farm, faith and consumer movements, our officers and directors together have decades of leadership experience in trade issue education.

Trade Justice’s overall mission is to increase public understanding of just, sustainable trade policy alternatives, as opposed to the business-as-usual neoliberalism and racist nationalism frames that are often presented as the scope of the trade policy debate.
