A 2-page cheat sheet of key talking points to help you prepare for meeting with your MP or other representatives on our campaign on the UK-Colombia investment treaty.

We are calling for the UK government to collaborate with its Colombian counterparts to terminate the deal due to the risks posed to climate action, environmental protections, human rights and democratic sovereignty by its inclusion of corporate courts.

Your MP can put pressure on the government to do so by writing to the trade minister, asking parliamentary questions, or speaking out in the media.

This document sets out the ask, the context of the issue, the opportunity we have at this moment and the rationale, as well as how to answer tricky questions.
