from SumOfUs.org : But here’s the thing: corporations don’t just want to sue individuals. They’re using massive global trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to push for the right to sue entire countries – any time a country passes a law they claim threatens their profits. But we have a plan: every time our trade ministers meet to hold high-level talks on this secret deal, we’re there to expose them. Last month, SumOfUs members in Sydney did just that. Already, our community has played a big role in stopping “Fast Track” legislation in the US Congress, which would virtually guarantee these trade deals passage in the US. In addition, we overwhelmed an official public consultation on trade policy in the EU and Australia, and built strong public opposition to deals that were meant to be completed months ago. World leaders are keen to ram these deals through, and we’re going to keep up the pressure to make sure they’re scrapped.
