TPP is NAFTA on Steroids

CWAers, Sierra Club members and activists from Citizens Trade Campaign will be taking a stand in Leesburg, Va., on Sunday, Sept. 9, during the next round of negotiations for the Trans Pacific Partnership. TPP is probably the biggest and scariest trade deal the U.S. have ever negotiated, and it’s being done in secrecy.

Hundreds of activists have registered as stakeholders, enabling us to question negotiators, hand out materials and let the negotiators know exactly where we stand on this deal that threatens jobs, consumer safeguards, environmental standards and more.

A 3 pm rally is open to the public; advance registration is not required for that event and CWAers and activists in the area are encouraged to attend and make their voices heard.

More information is available at CWA's TPP issue page and at  www.citizenstrade.org.
