CTC Fly-In 2008

Trade reform activists from around the country come together annually at the CTC Fly-In to strategize, connect and plan.

This year, the Fly-In included training on organizing, coalition building, lobbying, press & media, and fundraising. Participants identified legislative priorities for the coming year, including marking out what we are for in future trade agreements.
