Trump's new #NAFTA, the #USMCA, is designed for the fossil fuel industry, big pharma, big ag, & big business. Call your representative now to tell them we need trade for people and planet, not CEO profits tradeforpeopleandplanet.org/… … #NoNAFTA2 @PopResistance @citizenstrade

Despite some improvements, the revised #NAFTA deal just approved by the House is a far cry from the type of transformative trade policy that should serve as a template for new trade agreements moving forward. citizenstrade.org/ctc/blog/2…

On #NewNAFTA - "New NAFTA doesn't fix the problems created by decades of unfair trade & increasing corporate concentration in our food system under its predecessor."

The updated text of Trump's NAFTA 2.0 is in and it's (still) bad news for our climate. A vote could happen as soon as next week. Call 1-855-980-2349 now to tell your Rep. to reject this bad deal! sierraclub.org/press-release…

20 yrs ago, the Seattle WTO protests massively disrupted the corporate trade agenda and demonstrated the power of cross-issue, cross-border organizing. Use the hashtag #MySeattleWTOStory to share photos, written reflections & video commentaries on why Seattle's worth remembering.

All the leading Democratic presidential candidates agree #NAFTA 2.0 should not be approved by Congress unless and until (1) language locking-in high medicine prices is removed and (2) stronger labor & enforcement terms are added to prevent job outsourcing citizenstrade.org/ctc/blog/2…

After two decades of #NAFTA's damage, we must get it right. The NAFTA 2.0 renegotiation is about getting the deal that will benefit working people. No vote on NAFTA 2.0 until it is fixed!

Big Pharma & corporate outsourcers are so desperate for Congress to rubber stamp their rigged #NAFTA deal, they're grasping at straws. As if any voter anywhere is gonna be all, "I sure am angry about the impeachment, but at least my Rep voted for NAFTA 2." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Global Trade Watch’s Lori Wallach and @sr_simone : "Now it’s on Trump to decide if he can work with Congress to get something done while he is being investigated and actually fix NAFTA." #FixUSMCA bit.ly/2BUKOOh

"The #NAFTA 2.0 deal President Trump signed last year wouldn’t raise wages in Mexico or stop race-to-the-bottom U.S. job outsourcing. And Trump added new monopoly rights for pharmaceutical corporations to NAFTA that would lock in high drug prices" thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

Congress would be failing the public if it rubber stamped the current bad #NAFTA deal that's rigged for Big Pharma and fails to stop outsourcing. The White House should stop stalling and make the long-demanded changes necessary to protect jobs, wages and access to medicine.

"The administration must eliminate the new giveaways to Big Pharma that make the new deal worse than the original #NAFTA, strengthen labor and environmental standards and enforcement, and secure progress in Mexico on needed changes" thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

#NAFTA needs strong labor standards with swift & certain enforcement. There are 100+ corporate lawsuits against Mexico's recent labor reforms; the labor implementation budget is miniscule; & future Mexican administrations may not be as sincere as AMLO.

"Democrats want stronger enforcement of labor standards in Mexico. The feared death of a union supporter in Guerrero state does not inspire confidence." #NAFTA #1u prospect.org/labor/missing-u…

To this very moment, working people in Mexico continue to be fired, abused and even disappeared for trying to form independent unions. A real #NAFTA replacement needs to include strong labor rights provisions with swift & certain enforcement. #1u washex.am/2LWqmC8

Don’t believe the hype: NAFTA 2.0 won’t stop or fix Trump’s unpredictable trade actions, disproportionately affecting farmers and small businesses. Call your Representative to today and demand NO VOTE until we #FixUSMCA: 1-855-973-4213 bit.ly/2Mxo9fQ

👏 Thanks to the 100+ members of Congress who just signed a letter to call for a climate-friendly #NAFTA replacement! The letter, led by @RepKatieHill, calls for a trade deal that protects our climate and communities, not Trump's pro-polluter NAFTA 2.0. sc.org/2nzMKYu
