Green Shadow Cabinet: Open Meeting On TPP
The most important immediate issue facing the country is stopping Fast Track for corporate trade agreements. Corporate trade advocates are pushing a version of Fast Track that will last four year with an option for a three year extension. If corporate traders have seven years to secretly negotiate trade agreements that favor transnational corporations it will cement in place corporate domination of the world economy and governments throughout the world. Failure to stop Fast Track will risk everything the movement for social, economic and environmental justice is working for. Our food and water will be at risk, as well our healthcare, regulation of banking, climate change, jobs and the future of the Internet. This is a moment where we must unify to mobilize against Fast Track for corporate trade.
This Wednesday the Green Shadow Cabinet is holding an open cabinet meeting to discuss why this is important and how we can mobilize.
