White Band Day 3 is this Saturday!
 The third White Band Day is all about putting the spotlight on trade justice. And, because it's this Saturday, three days before world leaders meet at the WTO to discuss global trade rules, doing your bit can really make a difference. Here are just a few ways you can get involved...
Wear your band
Show your support by wearing your band. Or buy one online.
Put a poster up
We've produced this 'Spotlight on trade justice' poster. Put it up anywhere, home, school, uni, college, shops, swimming pool, work. Spread the word.
 Send e-cards to your friends
Generation Why has loads of great e-cards for you to spread the message. Have a look at our selection and send them to your friends, telling them about Saturday.
Tell developing countries you support them
Stand by the world's poorest countries and make sure they get a fair deal at the WTO. Send a message to a developing country leader and tell them you are putting the spotlight on trade justice.
Tell the EU to Make Trade Fair
Write to Rob Portman, US Trade Representative, and Peter Mandelson, EU Trade Commissioner to demand they put the lives of world's poorest people before the interests of rich countries and rich companies.
Go to an event
Enjoy a day of music in Newcastle, a moving band of light and balloons and alternative carols in Leicester and Birmingham, a hunger banquet and ceilidh in Leeds and a life size unfair chess game in Oxford. Click here for full details of events and find one near you.
Hold your own event
We know it's short notice but it's not too late to organise your own event. Download the White Band Day 3 action tool kit here.
Most of all, have a great White Band Day 3!
