Answer:
Recently I attended my first ever rally. The rally was pretty cool and only took a little over an hour. It was held at noon next to the offices of our political representative and senator, and protested the effort to “fast track” a new international trade agreement .The agreement comes along with the false promises of “free” trade deals According to the supporters it will “boost economic growth, support jobs, and make our country the most dynamic and fastest growing countries in the world.” These claims are made despite the fact that “free” trade agreements have historically served only to increase the bottom line of multinational corporations. Trade agreements do this by allowing multinational corporations to operate “free” of democratically created laws and tariffs that are designed to support local economies, protect the environment, and prevent jobs and capital from being shipped overseas and given to the lowest bidder.
I have been reading a book on this and one of the messages I have is that free trade agreements are one of the biggest obstacles to doing anything about climate change. The agreements actually allow corporations to sue governments over any kind of restrictions or legislation that they find to be “protectionist” or that in any way “restrict trade.
It felt great to be able to do something – to speak with my physical presence and my voice – rather than simply wait until the next election to vote for someone based on their promises. We held signs, chanted, marched in and out of our representative’s office, marched to the public space outside the office, and listened to speeches. The whole thing was well organized and easy to participate in.
Being unused to protests and somewhat unfamiliar with this particular issue, I went to the rally as an individual citizen. Meaning I didn’t wear anything that could identify me as a protestor.
One of the speakers was a priest and he said
“Why, some may ask, would a priest be speaking at a rally to oppose a trade deal? What does trade policy have to do with religion, after all? Well, let me tell you: People of faith are taught to care for – and stand up for – the poor and the exploited. People of faith are taught to see creation as a sacred gift of God. If the agreement passes, there will be even more fossil fuel use and pollution. People of faith uphold the inherent worth of every person, and yet, if the it passes, even more human rights abuses will go unchecked.”I was very impressed by his words and everyone cheered. We did a peaceful march and then we dispersed.
