Tell Congress: Oppose the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement!
Last week, the US signed a free trade agreement with Peru, where more than half of the population lives in poverty. Trade could be an engine to pull millions out of poverty, but this agreement, like the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) before it, will institutionalize an uneven playing field between the two countries.
The fight's not over yet, since Congress must approve the agreement before it can take effect. This is where we need your help!

If signed into law, the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will do more harm than good for millions of Peruvians who live in poverty.
If passed, this FTA will put access to important life-saving drugs at affordable prices out of the reach for the majority of Peruvians. It will make it harder for small-scale farmers in Peru to compete with subsidized agricultural products from the US. This FTA will also weaken the government’s ability to pass laws to ensure that foreign investment helps promote sustainable development.
This is a bad deal for poor people in Peru, and we need your help to make sure it does not become law. http://ga0.org/campaign/peru_fta
