Tell Congress: Support the TRADE Act

From Change to Win:

The time has come for a new trade and globalization model - one that ensures economic security here at home while offering opportunities for sustainable development in countries around the world.

The TRADE Act is a new bill just introduced in Congress that would make this a reality by moving from the broken, discredited "free" trade model to a more equitable fair trade system. It would articulate the outcomes that any future trade deals will be expected to produce, and require that existing trade deals be renegotiated to remove their inequities.

Tell your Members of Congress to support the TRADE Act by signing on as co-sponsors today!

Tell Congress No Colombia Free Trade Agreement

Colombia's government has thwarted workers' right to organizeand bargain collectively-by weakening labor protections,refusing to register legitimate unions and failing to enforce the law against anti-union discrimination. The Colombia FTA extends NAFTA and CAFTA, so-called "free trade" agreements that have already undermined workers rights and environmental protections for U.S., Canadian, Mexican, and Central American workers.

U.S. and Colombian workers need agreements that guarantee the right to organize and improve living and working conditions for all workers. This agreement does none of that. Join Jobs with Justice in demanding fair trade and an end to the global race to the bottom.
