Lucas,
We just hosted a delegation of Korean union leaders, peasant farmers, public health advocates and parliamentarians who visited Washington. They shared their stories of what's at risk for them if we expand the NAFTA trade model to Korea. That vote could come in just weeks. Now it's your turn to do the same.
Do you have a story of how NAFTA or another trade deal has harmed you or your community? We want to know.
Your story is worth a hundred calls to your member of Congress, and maybe a thousand email petition signatures. We'd love to be able to put your experience front and center in the fight to stop the next round of unfair trade deals. Congress needs to be reminded that when they vote on unfair NAFTA-style pacts, real people's lives hang in the balance.
If your job has been offshored, or might be, we want to know about it. Has your community been slammed by a trade deal?
Corporate lobby groups spend untold millions to whitewash the legacy of unfair trade, so we must respond with the undeniable truth of the experience of millions of working families in this country -- that more NAFTA is a disaster!
We've all been hurt by unfair trade -- with race-to-the-bottom global wage competition translating to stagnant wages nationwide. But some of us have been on the front lines: offshored and downsized manufacturing workers, foreclosed family farmers, families burned by unsafe food and toys, and those of us poisoned by corporate air and water pollution have borne the brunt. It's time to fight back.
Tell us your story today, so we can stop the Korea FTA tomorrow.
Thanks for all you do!
