Trade policy in the United States is at a crossroads. Hear from a tri-national panel of experts on the continuing plans to deepen and expand the failed NAFTA model, as well as the growing U.S. civil society movement to fundamentally rethink and reform America’s international trading regime to protect workers, the environment and democracy. These competing visions for North America will have major impacts on Canada and Mexico, but they hold the potential to create a much fairer trading relationship across continental borders.
 
Moderated by Stuart Trew, Trade Campaigner, The Council of Canadians, with:
 
Manuel Perez Rocha, director of The NAFTA Plus and the SPP Advocacy Project at the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Policy Studies, and executive committee member of the Mexican Action Network on Free Trade (RMALC).


Katherine Ozer, executive director of the National Family Farm Coalition who also sits on the boards of the Citizens Trade Campaign, Community Food Security Coalition and the National Campaign for Sustainable Agriculture.
