Populist Dialogues - What a Fair trade agreement would look like

National Organizing Director of Citizens Trade Campaign, Elizabeth Swager, talks with us about corporate trade agreements, like NAFTA, CAFTA and many more. She draws the differences between these agreements and what progressive people and organizations would like. Progressives want policies which are fair and just for the people, no for multi-national corporations. She cites one specific example of how these agreements have elevated corporate rights over human rights. The conversation ends with a discussion of what the elements of a progressive agreement would be and who would be at the negotiating table.
