Broadening the ask on NAFTA2

Up until recently, activists here in the US had one main "ask" as they approached members of the House of Representatives on NAFTA renegotiation: to get a pledge that any final text that contained an Investor State Dispute Settlement mechanism, NAFTA's current Chapter 11, would earn a "no" vote.

A NAFTA with ISDS out, however, could still be hugely damaging for the environment and climate, public health, jobs and work rights, and food safety. 

​We have four demands for NAFTA renegotiation:
No Investor State Dispute Settlement provision
Retain and strengthen "Buy Local" and "Buy American" public procurement preferences
Include much stronger protections for workers and the environment in the agreement itself--not as easily-ignored side agreements
Renegotiation must be conducted transparently, with legislators having full access to a public text

If you agree, print this postcard, have your fellow constituents sign, and then deliver to your member of Congress.
