Please attend our March 5 forum in Washington, DC: Linking Agriculture, Development and Migration: A Critical Look at NAFTA Past, Present and Future.

Join experts from the US, Canada, and Mexico as they take a critical look at how NAFTA has impacted the region and what we can do to reverse the trends that displaced farmers and workers in all three countries and sent millions of Mexicans into the migration stream.

In addition to the distinguished panelists, Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Canadian Member of Parliament Peter Julian, and Mexican congressman Victor Quintana will address the forum.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP by sending an email to Maria@boell.org or call 202-462-7512 by Monday, March 3rd. Also, please indicate in your response if you will need a headset for simultaneous English/Spanish translation.
