The NO CAFTA Campaign

The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is a regional trade agreement between the United States and 6 Central American countries – El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The agreement was approved by 2 votes in the US Congress on July 28,2005. Small business weighed in on CAFTA.

PLEASE CALL Maine’s Congressional delegation and thank them for voting No on CAFTA. We need trade agreements that protect workers' right, protect environmental and public health standards, public services, and democracy.
