Update: Mexico to Host Second Round of NAFTA Talks as Opening Round Concludes (Xinhua)

As renegotiations for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) kicked off this week, dozens of civil society organizations in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada have come together to shed light on the devastating effects the agreement has had on communities and the environment for the past 23 years.

This video was produced by Witness for Peace's Mexico International Team with the intention of making sure grassroots Mexican voices are included in these conversations.

Witness for Peace advocates for a replacement of NAFTA that includes a transparent and participatory process: including environmental standards that are enforced, labor rights for workers, and an end to NAFTA tribunals (ISDS). We support autonomous decisions around food sovereignty and reject U.S. policies that do not support people’s livelihoods, foster healthy communities and protect the environment.
