Corporate Greed Resisters!
We welcome our new corporate treaty resisters who have taken the
action pledge or joined the
Buycott for Trade Justice.
REMINDER: The next TPP Resistance call is this Wednesday, Jan. 6 at 9 pm Eastern. Mark your calendar and see below for details.
We have great news! The office of the US Trade Representative opened a public comment period so you can officially tell the administration what you think about the TPP. We make it easy for you.
The USTR is seeking public comments on the impact of the TPP on jobs and the labor market
until January 13, 2016. These comments will be formally submitted to the House Ways and Means Committee in Congress.
In the first week, more than 650 people have submitted comments. If you haven't done so, please take a few minutes to comment today.
There are only 9 days left.
If you have commented, thank you. Now, please share this widely so others can comment too.
CLICK HERE to follow the step-by-step instructions for submitting a comment. We provide information for you and a sample comment to make it easy.
Momentum for the
February 4th Nationwide Day of Action to protest the TPP is building. Cities in the US and Canada have committed to actions and are on the
action map. This is the first day that President Obama can officially sign the TPP. Japan Times
reports that TPP country leaders are making plans for the signing ceremony.
If there isn't an action near you, please consider planning one. It can be as simple as holding signs and passing out fliers in a busy area or it can be more elaborate and creative. We are happy to help you.
Contact us if you are interested.
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.

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. Become a media mobilizer by

3. Sign and share the petition. We will deliver this petition to leaders in Congress when the time is right.
