DESCRIPTION:TPP: Coming Soon to a Congress Near You!\n\nA conversation with Robert 
 Longer,\nLegislative-Political Director, Communications Workers of 
 America\n\nBack at the end of July, news media were reporting on the 
 failure of trade negotiators to finalize the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the 
 ambitious “trade” agreement to be made among 12 Pacific Rim nations. 
 But July was just a hoped-for target date. Meanwhile, the secretive 
 negotiations continue on a near-daily basis as the final issues are 
 resolved.\n\nNegotiators expect to complete the agreement sometime this 
 fall. Then it’s on to Congress, which will have no power to amend the 
 agreement, thanks to the passage of “fast track” some months ago. 
 Congress can vote only Yes or No. The struggle to get Congress to vote 
 “no” will be major political effort. Get ready!\n\nAt this forum, we 
 will discuss not only the corporate-friendly details of the TPP, we’ll 
 take a look at the early organizing efforts to oppose it. Labor, 
 environmental and human rights groups are already gearing up for a major 
 grassroots efforts. Once again, it will be Wall Street vs Main Street. 
 Learn how to get involved in this critical effort to put people 
 first.\n\nYOU are an important part of every Other Voices forum. The forum 
 really is a conversation. So come prepared to ask questions or share your 
 opinions.\n\nOther Voices Monthly Forum is held at the Community Media 
 Center, where it is recorded for airing on local cable television and 
 streaming on the Internet.\n\nSponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice 
 Center\n\nFree and open to all. Wheelchair accessible.\n
