The TRADE Act<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

NAFTA and the WTO have been a disaster for working people in Oregon and around the globe — but the coming years offer amazing opportunities to not only stop the expansion of these corporate trade deals, but to actually begin fixing the problems they have created.<\/p>\n

In June 2008, landmark new Fair Trade<\/em> legislation called the Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment (TRADE) Act was first introduced in Congress. This legislation would go a long way towards ensuring that trade policy actually benefits working people and strengthens the economy, as well as protecting consumers, the environment, public health and small farmers, both at home and abroad.<\/p>\n

The TRADE Act had over 85 cosponsors its first year, and was supported nationally by a wide range of progressive organizations including the AFL-CIO, Change to Win, Sierra Club, National Farmers Union, United Methodists, Public Citizen, United Steelworkers, Machinists, Teamsters, Communication Workers of America, UNITE HERE, Friends of the Earth, National Family Farm Coalition, Citizens Trade Campaign and many others.<\/p>\n

Re-introduced in 2009, the TRADE Act eventually had over 150 cosponsors — including a strong majority of the House Democratic Caucus. Learn more and express your support for this crucial legislation by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now encompassing a dozen nations, the TPP far exceeds trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA in its size and scope. \u00a0It is also intended as a “docking agreement” open to additional nations throughout the Pacific Rim. \u00a0While most negotiating documents remain secretive, those that have been leaked reveal U.S. proposals even worse than those found in many previous trade agreements.\u00a0Click here<\/a> for an early copy of our public comments on this trans-Pacific FTA.<\/p>\n

Trade and Immigration<\/a><\/strong>
\nMost Oregonians know about the devastating impact that free trade agreements have had in this state — what’s less known is the destructive role that these policies have played in neighboring countries, and their connection to forced migration.

Fast Track<\/a><\/strong>
\nFast Track is the policymaking procedure that allowed trade agreements to be rushed through Congress without ordinary review, amendment and debate. It resulted in some of the most damaging trade policies of our lifetimes. Learn more by clicking here <\/a> .<\/p>\n
