[CTC] Day of Action to #SaveTAA

[Arthur Stamoulis]

Dear friends,

For over four decades, the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program has provided job retraining and other benefits to millions of workers whose jobs have been shipped overseas or displaced by imports.  Since the program was allowed to expire this June, however, roughly 40,000 trade-displaced workers have been forced to go without this vital lifeline.  

Please join today’s Day of Action to Save TAA urging the Senate to reauthorize the program before Congress breaks for the year.  Here are three easy ways you can make a difference now:

(1) Email <https://citizenstrade.salsalabs.org/CTC121322TAARenewalDayofAction/index.html> or call <https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/085/000/original/11302022_Lame_Duck_TAA_NLRB_AC.pdf> your Senators urging them to reauthorize TAA now

(2) Retweet about the Day of Action here <https://twitter.com/citizenstrade/status/1602663013831647237?s=20&t=Otbtm1xZgCG3H7A60MUlFw> or use this comprehensive social media toolkit <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S9qqDdYOjj63enOCXtJS99xT2izKQ6s8fX-LJ10AzRs/edit> from BGA

(3) Forward this message to appropriate email lists 

Don’t let the Senate leave trade-displaced workers in the lurch.  Please take action now.

Urge the Senate to Reauthorize TAA Before the Year Ends <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tc82900fa-be52-4622-bf31-0f9bcc7de062/9837ccbe-bce5-4d60-b9be-9bf250a08149>

Dear friend,

As the 117th Congressional session nears its end, there's an important piece of unfinished business: reauthorization of the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program for the nearly 40,000 workers whose jobs were recently offshored or displaced by imports.

TAKE ACTION:  Please urge your U.S. Senators to reauthorize TAA before they take off for the holidays! <https://default.salsalabs.org/Ta01f1db9-cbf4-4321-a936-40e8c5c86d35/9837ccbe-bce5-4d60-b9be-9bf250a08149>
For much of the year, Citizens Trade Campaign and our partners have been asking Congress to enhance and renew the TAA program, which provides job retraining and other benefits to people whose livelihoods are destroyed under corporate-rigged trade deals. The TAA program has been in place for decades, and is often a lifeline for trade-displaced workers, their families and their communities.

The thought that this vital safety net for workers who've already been abandoned by greedy corporations might not be renewed this year is totally unacceptable.

Millions have benefited from TAA over the years. But since the program was allowed to expire in June, nearly 40,000 trade-displaced workers who would otherwise qualify for assistance have had to go without. Don't let their suffering continue into the New Year. 

TAKE ACTION:  Please ask your Senators to renew the TAA program before they break for the year. <https://default.salsalabs.org/T8122a421-8251-4bdb-b196-f5ceed68570a/9837ccbe-bce5-4d60-b9be-9bf250a08149>
Your help makes a real difference. Please take action now. <https://default.salsalabs.org/T0fe334b8-df4b-4bde-a490-133425f00cbc/9837ccbe-bce5-4d60-b9be-9bf250a08149>
