Received this e-mail today from Sierra Club for you Pennsylvania Kossacks:
The climate impact of NAFTA has been enormous -- it empowered corporate polluters to challenge environmental protections, boosted destructive mining in Mexico, and contributed to the rise of Canada's toxic tar sands industry.
In Pennsylvania, NAFTA has resulted in job displacement, undermined unions, and pitted working people against each other across North America
Now Trump's corporate-driven trade agenda threatens to make matters even worse. But there's an alternate vision of trade -- one that respects workers, our communities, and the planet.
Join Senator Casey on August 16 in Pittsburgh for a public forum on how to transform trade.
Event details:
WHAT: Forum on transforming trade with Senator Bob Casey and labor, environmental, and civic leaders.
WHERE: United Steelworkers HQ, 60 Blvd of the Allies, Pittsburgh, PA (map)
WHEN: Wednesday, August 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:40 a.m.
RSVP: http://sc.org/CaseyTradeForum
With Donald Trump's xenophobic, anti-environment, and pro-corporate trade agenda becoming increasingly clear, there's a real chance that NAFTA will only get worse. Congressional leaders like Senator Casey are key voices to ensure our trade policies respect workers, communities, and our planet.
RSVP now for this special forum on trade with Senator Bob Casey!
Sincerely,
Anthony Torres
Associate Campaign Representative
