About Us

  • Eyes on Trade is a blog by the staff of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch (GTW) division. GTW aims to promote democracy by challenging corporate globalization, arguing that the current globalization model is neither a random inevitability nor "free trade." Eyes on Trade is a space for interested parties to share information about globalization and trade issues, and in particular for us to share our watchdogging insights with you! GTW director Lori Wallach's initial post explains it all.

Trade Act to be unveiled shortly

The 2009 Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment Act, or TRADE Act, will be unveiled at 2 pm at an event on Capitol Hill.

The bill, sponsored by fair-trade champion Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine), has over 100 cosponsors, and represents a positive, forward-looking alternative to the failed NAFTA-WTO unfair trade model. Check out our post on last year's unveiling for a taste of things to come.

Stay tuned!
