The Fight to Stop Fast Track and the TPP!
The Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the League of Conservation Voters and 41 other environmental groups have called on Congress to oppose Fast Track.
In a letter to Congress, they wrote: “As leading U.S. environmental and science organizations, we write to express our strong opposition to ‘Fast Track’ trade promotion authority, and to urge you to oppose any legislation that would limit the ability of Congress to ensure that trade pacts deliver benefits for communities, workers, public health, and the environment.”
“The TPP would give big polluters broad new rights to attack climate and clean air and water protection in a secret trade court, forcing our government to pay millions in taxpayer dollars.”
—Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune
