Why We Should Care
Tuesday, April 22nd at 6:45pm
Greenburgh Town Hall located at 177 Hillside Avenue in Greenburgh, New York.
CWA Economist Pete Sikora will share with us crucial information about the TPP that has been negotiated in secret with few members of congress having any information or input.
A community panel will follow and will include members of Concerned Families of Westchester, Food and Water Watch, the Hudson River Presbytery, Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the Sierra Club, Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body and WESPAC. The panel will discuss the impact of the TPP on local jobs, our environment, food safety, healthcare and democracy.
Elected officials will be invited to make remarks about trade agreements and the TPP.
This town hall is organized by a grassroots coalition that includes CWA Local 1103, Concerned Families of Westchester, Mount Vernon United Tenants, WESPAC, Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch, Hudson River Presbytery, UWUA 1-2 and Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body.
