Hi,
We're emailing you because this is an urgent moment -- the House of Representatives will vote within the next 24 hours whether to approve a terrible new version of NAFTA that will undermine the environment and climate action.
The Sierra Club and other leaders on climate and the environment are mobilizing right now to fight the new NAFTA and they've asked for our help mobilizing people ahead of this critical vote.
The last time a NAFTA deal was approved, it devastated jobs and communities across North America. It also led to epic environmental damage and carbon emissions. Environmental leaders are now opposing the new version of NAFTA -- and with the vote coming in just a few hours, time is running out to stop this bad deal.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to vote NO on NAFTA 2.0!
The new version of NAFTA, which Trump calls the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), is a key opportunity to tackle the climate crisis. NAFTA is notorious for weakening environmental standards and destroying jobs in order to enable corporate profit. Leading climate and environmental organizations came together to demand changes to NAFTA to stop the damage.
But Trump's deal makes matters worse for the climate. It enables more pollution dumping, provides more fossil fuel handouts, and doesn't improve enforcement of environmental regulations. NAFTA 2.0 even creates a new loophole for corporate polluters in the investor-state dispute settlement process.
Congress is going to sneak this vote through while everyone's attention is on impeachment. We need to speak up NOW.
Trade agreements like these supersede U.S. laws, and remain in place for decades. This is a crucial opportunity to get it right, especially as we face the climate crisis. Congress is about to let Trump get it very wrong. Will you take a stand for climate and the environment right now?
Add your name and tell Congress: Vote NO on NAFTA 2.0!
Thank you for taking a stand,
Robert and the team at Demand Progress
