The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has negatively impacted millions of workers in the United States and partner countries. After years of pressure and discontent amongst communities hurt by NAFTA and NAFTA-style trade deals, trade is now front and center in the eyes of the American public.
One of President Trump’s biggest campaign promises was to renegotiate NAFTA to benefit working people and their families. In spite of this, most of the people President Trump has nominated to his cabinet, who will be leading these negotiations, are the same multimillionaires and billionaires who supported TPP and NAFTA-style trade agreements.
Just like in the fight to stop the TPP, your voice will have an immense impact on the renegotiation of NAFTA.
Take action and join us at a special public hearing featuring Joshua Quigley from Rep. Barbara Lee's office.
You will hear from labor, environmental and social justice leaders as they discuss the impact NAFTA has had and you will learn what we need to do to fight back at this critical moment. Panelists include acclaimed photojournalist David Bacon, CWA's California Political Director Robert Longer, and Friends of the Earth Senior California Campaigner Gary Hughes.
