Take the Pledge for Trade Justice!

March 2007

The process of negotiating, ratifying, and implementing so-called "free" trade agreements like the DR-CAFTA is out of control, and the time has come to say "enough is enough!" Congress and all elected officials must demand a new approach and should be required to make their positions on trade clear and unambiguous so that people in the United States will know where they stand. With the Pledge for Trade Justice, we are demanding that our public officials start working toward a more just and equitable system. And there is an alternative. Public officials such as the representatives who have already signed the Pledge are vowing to press this administration and future ones for just agreements that support sustainable development goals and equity for all.
