TPP Update

This week, CWAers and allies flooded Capitol Hill with phone calls, part of a Day of Action to push Congress to reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Officials from the 12 TPP countries signed the trade deal last week; we don't know when Congress will vote on it. Many senators and representatives are standing with us, and we're building more support every day.

But we're not taking any chances. For months, CWAers and allies have been meeting with members of Congress, leafleting events attended by administration officials and getting the public behind us. We're holding representatives accountable for their votes on Fast Track, and we won't stop until we know that Congress has rejected this giveaway to corporations and the wealthy.

CWA activists and allies from 33 organizations rally at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago, before marching to Union Station and leafleting commuters about why TPP would be a disaster for workers and communities.
