The statewide coalition formed in 1991 in opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement and has since grown to include more than 40 labor, family farm, environmental, faith and social justice organizations across the state of Minnesota.

“We are united in the belief that trade policy should reflect the interests and values of working people and the environment,” the coalition states. “Our mission is to create, promote and support fair trade policy and global justice for our communities, family farms, working people and the environment in Minnesota and around the globe.”
