CTC: A Fair Way Forward<\/strong><\/p>\n

Citizens Trade Campaign (CTC) is a broad and diverse national coalition of environmental, labor, consumer, family farm, religious, and other civil society groups founded in 1992 to oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).<\/p>\n

We are united in a common belief that international trade and investment are not ends unto themselves, but instead must be viewed as a means for achieving other societal goals such as economic justice, human rights, healthy communities, and a sound environment. The rules which govern the global economy must reflect the views and needs of a majority of the people on issues such as jobs, wages, the environment, human rights, food and consumer safety, access to essential services, and public health.<\/p>\n

CTC is a leading advocacy vehicle to fight for trade policy that serves the interests of a majority of the world’s people, instead of the self-serving agenda of multinational corporations.<\/p>\n

What do we do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At both the national and local levels, CTC facilitates the formation of cross-sectoral coalitions in which diverse interests can come together to share strategy, coordinate advocacy efforts, and promote an alternative vision for a more balanced way to expand trade.<\/p>\n

CTC provides organizations, activists, and ordinary citizens across the U.S. an effective means to have their voices heard in Congress.\u00a0 We work at the local level to unify those voices, educate the public and press, and hold elected officials accountable to their constituencies at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
