New phase in the #NoTTIP campaign launched.

War on Want has teamed up with handmade cosmetics producer Lush, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and with Lush stores in 14 European countries to say ‘No’ to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

Often described simply as a “free trade deal”, TTIP is anything but this.

TTIP will give corporations unprecedented powers to toy with our most prized social, health and environmental protections just so they can make more money; it will destroy many of the hard-won gains made in Europe over the past decades around food safety or protection from dangerous chemicals in our cosmetics and pesticides; it will cost at least one million jobs and permit US corporations to sue European governments for millions of pounds in their own corporate court system.
