Sojourners has supported the Millineum 2000 Goals and drawn attention to the recent Farm Bill. It had a special issue on trade issues in May, 2007. It's a start, but I'd like to see more. How about a rally or demonstration on Capital Hill? Can we get arrested again, this time over Fair Trade and Corporate Abuse of Power?
