LETTER: EIA Signs Letter Opposing Fast Track

EIA has signed onto a letter with over 40 nonprofit and nongovernmental groups to voice strong opposition to proposed fast track legislation of a U.S. trade agreement that seriously threatens the environment.

U.S. involvement in trade negotiations should be guided by democracy, transparency, political accountability, and must lead to a “race to the top” that provides real protections for communities, workers, and the environment. We cannot support trade agreements that promotes illegal logging and wildlife trafficking.
