[eridani]

Let's show that people everywhere are united against these treaties that drive a race to the bottom in wages and worker's rights, environmental protection and more. We demand a new paradigm that puts people and planet before profits.

Here are more actions you can take:

1. Join the Buycott for Trade Justice. We are building power to create an economic impact of our own and to put in place an economy that raises standards globally. This will take time to build. The holiday season is a great time to start. Click here for more information and let us know if you want to join the buycott working group. http://www.flushthetpp.org/buycott/


2. Get ready for the president's state of the union address on Jan. 12. We expect a deluge of misinformation about the TPP around the state of the union and we must be prepared to correct it.

Jim Hightower: The Trans-Pacific Trade Scam

http://www.nationofchange.org/news/2015/12/23/the-trans-pacific-trade-scam/

Through little-known provisions in past trade scams, powerful corporations in other countries have pressured their governments to challenge our laws in similar tribunals.

From Canada to Malaysia, many countries have — on behalf of their corporate powers — successfully forced Congress and U.S. agencies to weaken or eliminate everything from environmental protections to consumer right-to-know laws.

In fact, this very year, Obama’s own administration has been told by the World Trade Organization that it must alter or repeal America’s laws on labeling foreign agricultural products.
