STOP THE TPP ACTION

Get ready.

They're going to try to sneak the biggest job killing, environment destroying, corporate drafted trade agreement by us this year but we can't let it happen.

Join CWA President Chris Shelton and Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune to learn what we can expect in 2016 in the fight to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

TPP Town Hall Call
Wednesday, January 13th at 7 p.m. ET
Signup: http://stopthetpp.org/town-hall-call or text TPPCALL to 69866

We'll find out:

The timeline for Congressional action on the TPP.
Why the TPP is so bad for workers, consumers and our environment.
The strategy to beat the TPP if it comes up for a vote in Congress.

The call will last a half hour and you must register by Wednesday, January 13th at noon ET.

Hope you can join us!

In Unity,

Beth Allen
Digital Communications Director

I'm confident we can kill this thing dead in it's tracks.

I guess all those government officials are in the pockets of corporations. The officials don't really want foreign investment, the jobs that brings, the tax revenue for social needs, etc.

Seems to me the new Environmental Accord is where the action is for environmental issues.

I get the TPP and TTIP won't solve all the world's problems, but even Justin Trudeau knows it's good for Canada even if unpopular among people who are short-sighted and think denouncing TPP will make things better.
