4. Personalise your message and hit send!
5. Now share your action on social media and inspire others to #BeTheChange
Now is the time for swift action
While we can all be the change, our politicians have a special role to play. They can push to change laws and regulations, and work towards a world where all trade is fair.
With the recent elections behind us, we have a unique chance to bring new MPs into our global, farmer-led movement for a fairer future.
Now is the time for the new government to take decisive action to support farmers overseas—so we can continue enjoying the foods we love while ensuring the farmers who produce them receive a fair price for their hard work.
Did you know that most UK adults are concerned about the supply of food to the UK, with 60% wanting more action from politicians?
Believe us – action like this really makes a difference
Before the election, over 1,500 of you contacted your local candidates, and we saw real results.
Over 200 candidates committed to work with Fairtrade campaigners like you locally, and organisations like ours nationally.
Over 20 of those people are now MPs, ready and willing to speak up for a fairer future.
Thank you for taking the pledge to #BeTheChange
