Maine Delegates go to Washington, D.C. to visit Snowe on Fair Trade Policy

On Thursday Nov. 6, members of the Maine Fair Trade Campaign (MFTC),  which includes the Sierra Club Maine Chapter, traveled to D.C. to meet with Senator Snowe to ask her to co-sponsor the Trade Act.  Senator Snowe is considering co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation with Senator Brown from Ohio, which requires the United States to review the failed international trade agreements such as NAFTA and CAFTA and would also set new standards for future agreements.  These failed agreements have threatened both the environment and human rights, and have shifted many of Maine's critical industries oversees.  The Trade Act is a better way forward. 

Above from left to right: Stephan Donnell USW 1188, Deb Kendall USW 11, Sandy Amborn, Sierra Club, and MFTC organizer Sarah Bigney

Senator Snowe has been an outspoken supporter of better trade policies in the past, but has still not committed her support to this very important bill.  Please Call Senator Snowe today and ask her to co-sponsor the Trade Act!

Help Us "Green" Our Communication System

The Maine Chapter is looking to upgrade our communication system. This new software will help us reduce the amount of paper we use and better enable us to keep our members and activists better informed about important environmental issues in the state.

Help us reach our fundraising goal of $2000 to purchase this important tool by donating today.  Even a gift of $10 will put us one step closer to reducing the amount of paper we use.
