What if you could change the world?

Coldplay singer, Chris Martin joins efforts with Oxfam for the Make Trade Fair campaign.

"Why campaign on trade?

World trade rules have been developed by the rich and powerful on the basis of their narrow commercial interests. Rich countries and powerful corporations have captured a disproportionate share of the benefits of trade, leaving developing countries and poor people worse off. Trade rules should be judged on their contribution to poverty reduction, respect for human rights, and environmental sustainability.

Instead of robbing half the world of a proper living, trade could help millions of poor farmers and workers in developing countries beat poverty, and change their lives for good.

But this will not happen unless countries change the way they trade.
So we’re campaigning hard to make sure they do." -Oxfam International

"We forget that we can become part of the influential body ourselves, just by grouping together or speaking louder. If no one speaks, no one shouts then no one does anything. And that's why I speak, that's why I shout and I do my bit and you do your bit and that's how change happens" -Chris Martin.
