Wisconsin Unions, Farmers Demand "Fair Trade for Working Families" at Protest Outside the Trump Administration's G20 Trade Summit in Milwaukee tradejusticeedfund.org/wisco…
The "Working Families vs Oligarchs" teach-in is off to a great start! Join the farm-labor rally for fair trade outside of the G20 trade summit in Milwaukee on Wednesday morning. Details at TradeJusticeEdFund.org
John Drew of the Wisconsin UAW CAP explains why the Trump admin is bringing the G20 Trade Summit to Milwaukee -- and how working people are demanding more. Get involved: TradeJusticeEdFund.org
Pam Fendt of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council explains what labor thinks of the Trump admin's upcoming G20 trade summit in Wisconsin. Learn more at: TradeJusticeEdFund.org
Join us on September 17th 3pm ET to learn what's at stake at the upcoming G20 trade ministerial and what you can do to make a difference for working families.
Later this month, G20 trade officials will meet in Milwaukee. For decades, corporate trade rules have offshored jobs, cut wages, and put profits over people. The ministerial is an opportunity to call out that failed approach.

Please read "What Comes After the Neoliberal Order" my take in @ForeignAffairs on trade policy that could help the US & other countries better tackle the economic, democracy & climate challenges we face. Hint: It's neither neoliberalism nor tariff chaos🧵

The ongoing #USMCA renegotiation must remove dangerous source code secrecy guarantees, which now threaten even the Trump admin’s latest approach to AI oversight. 1/

Trade should lift up working families rather than pit workers against each other across borders. We need a USMCA deal that puts working people's interests across all three countries ahead of corporate profits.

For the last 30 years, unfair trade policies have cost the United States more than 4 million manufacturing jobs, leaving too many workers and communities behind. Join us in fighting for a USMCA deal that puts workers first.

Trade Justice Network w/ @J4MW for the Days of Solidarity at the border in Fort Erie on Saturday. We sent a message to our friends on the other side of the border that we will not be divided by rigged trade deals, exploitation of migrant workers & corporate power. #canlab
The Cross-Border Days of Solidarity Against Rigged Trade showed what's possible when workers, family farmers, environmental advocates, faith leaders, and community organizations organize together across borders. 1/
Thanks to the leadership of partners in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, more than 100 organizations participated in actions across 10 cities, generating 300+ media hits and bringing progressive voices on trade to millions of people at a pivotal moment for the future of the #USMCA
The problem isn't our neighbors across the border -- it's trade rules that put multinational corporations ahead of workers, communities, and the planet.
Thanks to everyone who organized, attended, spoke, marched, and rallied for better trade rules. #USMCA
