No Trade Justice Without Economic Justice
As trade issues become increasingly prominent in the national political agenda we must maintain that there can be no trade justice without economic justice. As loud as Trump can be about his announcements on global trade, his policies have still resulted in no tangible benefit for workers or the environment. To the contrary, his tax bill, immigration policies, and the attack on labor, financial, and environmental regulations have represented constant attacks against working class communities across the country. But Trump must know that the social movements of the United States will not tolerate blaming all of the US's problems on other countries or on people of color when it is major corporations and corrupt politicians who are responsible for the incredible inequality, the constant attack on workers' rights, and the environmental destruction that this country and much of the world faces. We want real change both on domestic and international policy that puts people and the planet before profits and war-mongering.
