Demand Congress #ReplaceNAFTA for people and planet first!
Right now, the Trump Administration is renegotiating NAFTA, but the talks are taking place behind closed doors, with the public shut out and corporate polluters invited in.
Demand your Member of Congress push to replace NAFTA with a deal that creates good union jobs, raises wages, reduces inequality, protects our air and water, supports climate action, and builds healthy communities.

Why is this important?
Since 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has filled the pockets of fossil fuel executives and Wall Street CEOs at the expense of working people and the environment in the US, Canada, and Mexico. From helping corporations undermine democratic rule and union power through secretive Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) tribunals to exacerbating pollution and displacing immigrants, this rigged deal has harmed middle class and low-income families, people of color, and nearly everyone who is not a big corporation. Now the Trump Administration is renegotiating NAFTA, but the talks are taking place behind closed doors, with the public shut out and corporate polluters invited in.
We cannot sit silently while Trump invites billionaires to tweak NAFTA. We must fight to #ReplaceNAFTA with an agreement that puts people and planet first, not corporations.
While job-outsourcing corporations ask for even more handouts in NAFTA 2.0, Congress must push for a NAFTA replacement that supports good union jobs, climate justice, and healthy and thriving communities. While Trump tries to use his NAFTA agenda to build a racist border wall, Congress must call for a replacement deal that raises wages and environmental standards for workers, immigrants, and communities across North America. Rather than pitting communities against each other, we center racial, economic, and environmental justice in our fight for a new approach to trade.
