Rewriting USMCA for Workers and the Environment

Leaders from the BlueGreen Alliance—joined by members of Congress—released a new platform laying out proposed improvements to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol Building.
The BlueGreen Alliance was born, in part, out of a shared commitment to just trade policies, and in opposition to the unfair and predatory North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which for years privileged the profits of multi-national corporations over working people and the planet. Six years ago, NAFTA was finally replaced by a new agreement—the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA). While the USMCA made some improvements over NAFTA, the existing agreement still rewards companies for offshoring production, paying the lowest wages possible, and laying waste to the environment in the most vulnerable communities.
The new trade platform, Rewriting USMCA for Workers and the Environment, lays out the changes that BGA and our partners are demanding from USMCA.
