Subject: Submit a comment to the USMCA review! 🌎

>
> NFFC, IATP, and WORC today jointly submitted a comment to the Office of
> the U.S. Trade Representative as that office conducts a legally-required
> 5-year review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. We are using this
> comment period as an opportunity to uplift our mutual work on mandatory
> country of origin labeling (MCOOL), seed sovereignty, and supply management
> in the dairy sector, and how USMCA can better support these priorities. You
> can read the comment *here* <https://nffc.net/usmca-mandatory-review/>.
>
> As a part of this effort, we developed *this toolkit*
> <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_eTBlH6fRr1w0bGuFGz3uMWs_uz4rTdkRqGlq8-foA4/edit?usp=sharing> and
> are encouraging NFFC member organizations and allies, if they are
> interested, to submit a comment of their own. In that toolkit, we provide
> more context, submission instructions, and a draft comment you should feel
> free to use or modify for submission. The deadline for submitting a comment
> is Monday, November 3.
>
> Our submission is part of a broader movement for trade justice, as
> exhibited by our participation and leadership within the Citizens Trade
> Campaign, that is fighting to ensure that trade agreements do not spell
> rollbacks to worker and environmental protections and handouts to
> concentrated corporate power -- hallmarks of the so-called "free trade"
> paradigm. It also echos what other NFFC members have highlighted in their
> own organizing efforts around this opportunity (for example, MRCC
> <https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/prioritize-mandatory-country-of-origin-labeling-for-meat-in-the-usmca-review?source=direct_link&>
> ; Iowa CCI
> <https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/in-support-of-mandatory-country-of-origin-labeling?source=enews>)
> and bolsters NFFC strategic priorities around opposing corporate
> domination, supporting agroecology, and ensuring fair prices and markets.
