From Indigenous Environmental Network: 174 House Representatives have committed to vote no on Fast Track. Fast Track would limit Congress’ right to review, amend and debate the TPP, when U.S. elected officials should be scrutinizing every one of its provisions. Bipartisan support is rare in Washington these days, and it’s inspiring to see both sides of the aisle united in opposition to the TPP. This all happened in the midst of WikiLeaks (founded by Global Exchange 2013 People’s Choice Honoree Julian Assange) revealing the Intellectual Property chapter of the TPP to the world. These breakthroughs on the TPP are due in no small part to the massive outpouring of public opposition. Our message is getting through, but it’s not time for the victory party just yet – U.S. trade negotiators are doing everything in their power to ram this disastrous trade deal through. We can’t let that happen. Contact your Congressperson and tell them you want a FAIR trade agreement that recognizes social, environmental and economic justice, as well as basic human rights throughout the world. Say NO to Fast Track.
