Dear friend,
Congress is on the verge of cutting a terrible deal with Donald Trump to
renew NAFTA. Can you help stop it?
Democratic leaders in Congress are coming under intense pressure from big
corporations, who are flooding Congressional offices with calls and emails
urging Representatives to hand Trump a massive win by agreeing to his new
NAFTA deal. We don't have a lot of time -- the news is reporting that a
deal is "imminent."^1

2.0 until and unless his administration fixes it.
It's no wonder why corporations and their lobbyists want a new NAFTA to
pass: Trump let Big Pharma rig that deal to lock in high U.S. medicine
prices.^2 And its labor and environmental protections and enforcement are
too weak to stop NAFTA's original sin of race-to-the-bottom outsourcing of
jobs and pollution.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has to sign off for NAFTA 2.0 to get a vote.
Thankfully, she has worked with unions, health care advocates, and
consumer groups to demand critical changes.
But Pelosi and her members are coming under intense pressure around the
clock. We need to show them the American people want Congress to stand
firm. That means standing with our friends in labor in securing real
enforcement of strengthened labor and environmental standards. Will you
help?

Thank you for taking action to stop a Big Pharma giveaway,
Robert and the team at Demand Progress
