| Dear Katy, Speaker Pelosi is on the verge of handing Donald Trump a big victory less than 24 hours after impeaching him. Last week, she announced House Democratic leadership's support for Trump's NAFTA 2.0 trade deal, also known as the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement. While the deal includes some improvements over the original NAFTA, it falls far short of what's needed on climate change and it won't stop the continued outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to Mexico. We can and must do better. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on NAFTA 2.0 today.1 Can you make an urgent phone call to Rep. DeGette now demanding that she votes no? Call Rep. DeGette: Vote no on Trump's NAFTA 2.0 trade deal. Click here for a script and the number to call. Last week, 10 of the top environmental groups in the country – including Sierra Club, 350.org, Friends of the Earth and Sunrise Movement – sent a letter to members of Congress asking them to vote no on NAFTA 2.0. As the letter notes, NAFTA 2.0 "poses very real threats to our climate and communities and ignores nearly all of the fundamental environmental fixes consistently outlined by the environmental community."2 There's no question that NAFTA is a disaster and that it must be replaced. But we believe that the next Democratic administration can negotiate a new trade agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico that is better for both working people and the planet.
