AWARE will be back at the Farmer's Market tomorrow, Saturday,
8am-noon. The weather should be fine. Come by and talk with us
about war and peace!<br>
<br>
We'll have petitions from Food and Water Watch opposing the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has already passed in the US Senate
- shame! - but may face more trouble in the House. Let's hope it
does.<br>

And, on <b>Tuesday evening, May 26th at 6:30pm</b> at the Unitarian
Church in Urbana (309 W Green St), ...<br>

</span></b></p>
<blockquote>Fast track and the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership
(TTIP) are very pressing and immediate issues for Food and
Water Watch. We are trying to get the word out to
our local communities about just how devastating previous
“fair trade “ agreements have been by giving so
much power to corporations to rule over every aspect of
our lives, from jobs to our health to our environment.
TPP has been called "NAFTA on steroids." These trade
agreements are a race to the bottom and we have to
let our lawmakers know that Americans do not want a
corporate takeover of our country. Find out how fair
trade affects local food, bottled water, and exporting
natural gas (from fracking).

<b>Trade Simulation Game - Gina Chamberlain
</b></span></p>
<blockquote>Have you ever wondered how we apply our
principles of justice and peace to the ways that trade
agreements
work? Does the topic seem too big, too far away and too
complicated? The Trade Simulation Game is
designed to bring these issues to life through stories
from our global partners. Participants assume a character
in four trade stories loosely based on real scenarios. The
characters share their realities with others and work
together to understand the role of trade agreements and
the people impacted by these agreements. Discussion
focuses on how we can respond on behalf of the poor and
the environment. The game is an interactive, fun
way to learn about this important issue.
<br>
<br>
Two hours for the game.
