DESCRIPTION:Join the Sierra Club, Citizens Trade Campaign, Monterey Bay Labor Council, 
 and 350 Santa Cruz for a forum about the environmental and labor impacts of 
 the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership!\n\nWhat is TPP? \nAttempts are 
 underway to fast-track secret trade negotiations between the United States 
 and 11 other countries around the Pacific Rim in a proposed Trans-Pacific 
 Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. Fast-track would eliminate congressional 
 debate and all opportunity for amendments. This massive "NAFTA on steroids" 
 trade deal would weaken our environmental protections, open the floodgates 
 to more fracking, move more jobs offshore, increase trade in endangered 
 species' body parts, and empower corporations to attack climate policies in 
 secret trade tribunals. \n\nMany labor rights, human rights, environmental 
 conservation groups and others are united in their position against 
 fast-tracking this international trade deal. \n\nSince negotiations have 
 been behind closed doors, we're depending on environmental and labor 
 champions in Congress to stand up for us. Unfortunately, some key leaders 
 in both parties are supporting "fast track" legislation that would rush the 
 TPP through Congress without any meaningful oversight. \n\nEven here in 
 Santa Cruz County, our Congressional Representative Sam Farr has come out 
 in support of Fast-Track legislation for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. 
 Join us in taking action to tell him we do not support fast tracking of the 
 TPP! \n\nFor more information, please email Melissa at
