#BadDeal Twitterstorm

.

This Friday, November 30th, the United States, Canada and Mexico will be holding a signing ceremony to promote their newly-inked deal on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).  Please join us on Twitter then to call out this #BadDeal!

.

Trump will undoubtedly be using the moment to claim he has kept his campaign promise to get rid of NAFTA and replace it with a wonderful new deal for working Americans.  In truth, the current deal fails to make critical changes needed to protect jobs, raise wages, defend human rights and safeguard the environment.  This is a #BadDeal!  And we need to spread the word that a lot more work is needed before there’s a real NAFTA replacement that working people can be happy about.

A Twitterstorm is when a large group of people get together at the same time on a certain day and push out the same hashtag on Twitter in an attempt to get it trending so that more and more people start noticing it and picking it up and using it.

.

From 12:30pm to 1:30pm Eastern this Friday, we need you to please send out tweets about NAFTA with the hashtag #BadDeal.  You can still use #NAFTA and any other tags in your messages, but make sure to also include #BadDeal as well.

.

Use the #BadDeal hashtag on Friday in reactions to news stories about the NAFTA signing; in response to tweets about NAFTA from Trump, other politicians and organizations; and when sharing photos from some of the various NAFTA actions happening around the country.  You can also send any of the following Tweets:
