105 members of Congress, led by Rep.DeLauro, are demanding a USMCA that puts people over profit, stronger labor protections, and eliminates ISDS corporate courts.
It’s time to rewrite the deal for workers, farmers, and communities, not Big Tech and corporate interests.

This is BIG -- Rep Doggett and 100+ reps demand full elimination of the ISDS provisions in the USMCA.
ISDS empowers corporations to sue governments and get taxpayer money over health, environmental, and other laws they don't like. It's a total scam, and it's on it's way OUT!

As Americans struggle with Trump’s unstable economy and some corporations exploit lax rules to outsource jobs abroad, I'm leading 100+ of my Dem colleagues in urging that environmental enforcement standards be strengthened in the renewal of USMCA to support job creation and clean manufacturing.

Trade agreements must not stand in the way of health and access to medicines.
USMCA must be revised to remove extreme intellectual property provisions that keep medicine prices high, discourage competition, and ultimately impede access to medicine.

Trade and migration are deeply connected. The USMCA must stop fueling displacement and start prioritizing sound immigration policy, human rights, and labor protections.

In a rare bipartisan move, the Senate rightly rejected Trump’s fraudulent national emergency declaration targeting Brazil.
While this move is positive, our Director, Melinda St. Louis, calls out the House Republicans continuing to use procedural B.S to avoid taking a stand on Trump’s tariffs.⬇️

The National Trade Estimates Report is a Big Tech wish list in a boring disguise.
Instead of respecting countries’ right to regulate for privacy, competition, or AI safety, Trump’s trade office labeled such public-interest laws as “unfair trade barriers.”

Trump’s trade chaos isn’t random; it’s a shakedown for Big Tech.
Every tariff threat and secret “deal” he makes is pressuring countries to drop privacy, AI, and digital tax rules that Big Tech doesn’t like.
