Dear Campaigner,

 

US-subsidised cotton is forcing hundreds of thousands of

African people into a life of desperate poverty. Stand up

against unfair trade here: http://www.maketradefair.com/go/cotton

 

World cotton prices are at an all-time low because of US

export subsidies on cotton. Millions of cotton farmers face

poverty because they simply can't compete in the world market

any more. This means that they can't make a living; or send

their children to school; or afford essential medicines.

 

Today, four African countries - Benin, Chad, Burkina Faso,

and Mali - are hitting back against unfair

US cotton subsidies which threaten their economies and very

survival.

 

We need you to stand with them as they make their case at the

World Trade Organisation in Geneva today.

 

Please take action - email President Bush NOW! Tell him

you're standing up for cotton farmers who are demanding

an end to unfair subsidies on cotton:

Thank You,

farmers.
