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 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
