San Pedro NAFTA Public Hearing, 10.27.2017
Trade deals, like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have consequences related to environmental protections, food and safety labeling, job elimination and job quality for people across North America. With the renegotiation of NAFTA imminent, it is critical that we take action to make our voices heard. Donald Trump and the United States Trade Representative’s Office are currently rushing through the 4th round of NAFTA renegotiation in secret, pushing a corporate-first deal that does not support working communities or the environment.
Take action and join us at a special public hearing featuring several prominent voices from local organizations. You will hear from immigration, labor, environmental and social justice leaders as they discuss the impact NAFTA has had and you will learn what we need to do to hold government accountable at this critical moment. We will also open up space for public discussion and the concerns of local community members with this deal.
When:
Friday, October 27th
7:00 - 8:30 PM
Where:
Port of Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club
100 W 5th St, San Pedro, CA 90731
Sponsored by:
The California Trade Justice Coalition
International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Southern California District Council

Rapid Response Call to Action for Hurricane Harvey
We are asking for your help as we experience probably the biggest natural disaster we have ever faced in Texas.
Harvey’s slow movement and a resulting deluge have taken aim at Houston, Galveston Island, Corpus Christi, Beaumont-Port Arthur, parts of central Texas and many areas in between. And the danger from the torrential downpour is far from over—as we write this—and could last several more days.
Union members help each other in times of disaster, and unions affiliated with the Texas AFL-CIO are participating in rescue and relief efforts.
We know from experience that union members also are extraordinarily generous in tough times. This is the toughest of times. The Texas Workers Relief Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable fund, which is overseen by the Texas AFL-CIO, provides direct help to union families in need.
What lies ahead is new. We have never seen a Texas tragedy on this scale. We cannot make anyone whole, but our movement can send a message of solidarity, a message that we are with working people badly harmed by Hurricane Harvey in heart, in soul and in spirit.
In Solidarity,
John
