Canada and Ecuador are expected to sign a Free Trade Agreement in the coming days—but Ecuadorians say they were shut out of the process. The deal puts investor protections ahead of democracy, human rights, and the environment. 🧵 For background on why people say NO: bit.ly/4yzlN6e

We need a different kind of trade. Trade that puts people before profits. That upholds Indigenous rights, protects human rights and the environment, and supports a just energy transition that benefits workers and communities—not corporations. That's the trade we're fighting for. 🧵
