Lori Wallach
American Economic Liberties Project
Director, Rethink Trade Program
A 30-year veteran of congressional trade battles, Wallach has been a prominent opponent of what she views as “corporate-rigged” rules, such as those in NAFTA and the World Trade Organization.
Hometown: Wausau, Wisconsin. Hidden talent: “Scuba diving—specifically, teaching people afraid of water how to dive and be calm.”
Historical figure she most identifies with: “Paul Revere, because my career has involved warning people about sneaky attacks on jobs, food safety, the environment, digital governance, democracy, human rights, etc., via provisions buried in ‘trade’ agreements.”
