After a year of renegotiation, the second generation of NAFTA (a free trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada) was signed at the end of November 2018 in Mexico. The likely next step is to seek approval of the deal in Congress in the next several weeks or months. The agreement will affect all of us.

This free event includes an experiential activity to understand how free trade affects different members of our population including corporations, small farmers, workers, the environment, and our democracy. This will be followed by an informational presentation on NAFTA by Hillary Haden of Washington Fair Trade Coalition.

Nancy Taylor will also share her firsthand experience of how people are treated at the border: and help us to understand how we can help in real ways." (Promo Copy)
