Bellingham, WA, City Council Unanimously Rejects Fast Track; Seattle Next;
Mar 26, 2015
On Monday night, the Bellingham, WA, City Council unanimously approved a resolution calling on Congress to oppose "fast track" for the TPP. With the Seattle City Council scheduled to take up a similar resolution this Monday, CWA activists and community allies need to take action.
Here are a few things we can do:
(1) Send an action alert to Seattle-based activists requesting that they email and call the City Council in support of a strong resolution against "fast track." The entire Council can be emailed at once with a message written to council@seattle.gov. The general phone number for the Council is 206-684-8566.
(2) Send an organizational letter in support of the resolution. If you don't have local staff to hand-deliver it, again, the entire Council can be emailed at once with a message written to council@seattle.gov.
(3) Recruit staff and supporters to pack the room during the City Council hearing and vote on Monday, March 30. The Council meets from 2:00 – 4:00pm, but people should show up by 1:45pm. If you have someone able to testify or are able to send some folks to help fill the room, please contact Gillian Locascio of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition at gillian@washingtonfairtrade.org or 206-227-3079.
We need you to help keep up the pressure on the state's delegation. This resolution is one small step.
