African Apparel Industry Protected!
Share
We did it!
Yesterday, President Bush signed the AGOA Bill into law. This means that “third-country fabric” provision of AGOA, a trade policy that is critical to the growing African textile industry, will be extended until 2012.
Over the past few week, Democrats and Republicans chose to come together to renew legislation that is working to create jobs in some of the poorest countries in the world. There is much more to do, but it’s important to celebrate our victories when they come.
Below find some of the recent posts from our fight to extend AGOA.
(I’m about to catch a flight home for the holidays, but will post more when I arrive.)
