PEOPLE’S TOWN HALL: TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!
February 17, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 7:45 pm
Over 500 activist groups are opposing the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) the largest trade deal in History.
The TPP is now being negotiated behind closed doors, its contents secret even from Members of Congress. And now Congress is being asked to “FAST TRACK” it through.
- Labor says it will cost American jobs just like NAFTA.
- Environmental groups say it will poison our food, water and air.
- Faith based groups say it will hurt developing countries.
- Healthcare advocates say it will drive up prescription costs
- Community groups say foreign corporations will be able to sue federal, state and even local governments for passing laws that protect our jobs, family and environment.
Get the facts and decide for yourself. Hear from these advocacy groups and our elected leaders in a single night at the People’s Town Hall: What you should know about the TPP
