Trade agreements must not stand in the way of health and access to medicines.

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

Trump’s biggest trade deal — the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement #USMCA, aka NAFTA 2.0 — has failed to deliver on its promised benefits to working people and family farmers.

Trump’s “trade policy” apparently means handing the NRA and gunmakers a global payday at the expense of public safety and human rights.
Removing basic safeguards to stop gun exports to drug cartels and terrorist groups? What could possibly go wrong?

Trump’s trade deal with Mexico and Canada has failed, and this is our chance to demand real change. The USMCA must protect workers, strengthen unions, and put people and the planet before corporate greed.

Trump’s trade chaos isn’t random — there’s a method to the madness. Behind the tariff tantrums and “America First” bluster lies a clear agenda: helping Big Tech deregulate the world.

Instead of creating good jobs and rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, Trump keeps cutting backroom trade deals that reward Big Tech and Wall Street.
