Free-Trade Failures from Canada to Colombia
Free-Trade Failures from Canada to Colombia: Stop SPP and the Colombia FTA
Learn about the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, a “super-NAFTA” package of trade and security initiatives organized behind closed doors between corporate leadership and the Mexican, Canadian, and US governments, and the Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (Colombia FTA), a “free-trade” deal built on a history of neoliberal repression of workers rights.
Find out how you can stop these undemocratic pro-corporate giveaways, and protect the rights of people, communities, and ecosystems threatened by “free trade.”

- Hector Sánchez, policy education coordinator for Global Exchange’s Mexico Program
