This session outlines the results of professional, student, and campus-based action and advocacy for trade and health. The co-presenters have over 30 years combined of academic, public policy, and nonprofit experience in organizing for advocacy for trade and health rights. Examples, lessons, tools, campaigns, and case studies will be outlined. Cross-sections of political economy, public policy, sociology, and public health combine to create varying and intersecting models for creating a more just and fair system of global trade and global health. Individual, consumer-based, and university level actions will be explored, along with a range of actions from grassroots to policy level. This presentation will consider varying tactics and approaches both for engaging in various actions to promote new and more equitable systems of trade and health and for engaging various constituencies, including students and campuses, in actions toward this end.
