Meeting Topic:

MAYDAY! TPP Puts Workers at Risk!

PH: 605-562-3140 PIN: 951146

AUDIENCE LOGIN - VIDEO ONLY MEETING ROOM: https://www.anymeeting.com/059-649-290

This promises to be one great call: In celebration of "MAYDAY" we're being joined by heavy-hitters from our allies in the labor movement: Larry Cohen, President, Communication Workers of America, and Tefere Gebre, Executive Vice President, AFL-CIO, along with Celeste Drake, AFL-CIO Trade and Globalization Policy Specialist; and Jean Hervey (from Texas) representing SEIU and Workers United, as they share candid conversations about the global “race to the bottom” being forced on nations and their workers through uncontrolled Free Trade deals like NAFTA and TPP.

We'll also hear the latest updates on Fast Track from the campaign brain trust at Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, represented by Kathryn Johnson, Public Citizens’ Global Trade Watch, Field Organizer; Emilianne Slaydon, TPP Media March, will update everyone on our (very successful!) global social media campaign and plans for this Tuesday's big Twitter Storm, while Adam Weissman from TradeJustice (NYC) will update us on what's been happening in New York (where TTIP negotiations were just held, and where new Dems such as Rep. Meeks are pushing the Fast Track agenda hard.)

Then stay with us to ask questions of our allies with Public Citizen, Communications Workers of America, People Demanding Action, TPP Media March, MoveOn, TradeJustice and more, to learn how this coalition of progressive organizations is fighting back to make sure the trend stops—and how you can join in the fight now that a Fast Track bill is pending in both the Senate and House.

Also, a new development in Illinois, and the PeopleDemandingAction Strategy to stop it!
