Please come out and show your support in opposing this bad trade deal. Congressman Brian Higgins will be having a press conference demanding Congress oppose TPP and fast track.
Currently, a secretive multinational agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), is being negotiated by 12 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan and Brunei. Although the TPP is being sold as just another free trade agreement, only five of its 29 chapters are directly related to trade.
In reality, the TPP would be a permanent power grab by corporations and their financers, and, among its many ramifications, the agreement could fast track fracking for shale gas in parts of the United States by expediting unrestricted liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
The TPP could also undermine local laws that prohibit multinational corporations from accessing resources such as natural gas, water, oil, etc. Lawsuits by multinational corporations against municipalities have already started in places like Seattle and Quebec due to past trade agreements. This means that our statewide fracking ban, which was put in place to protect people and the environment, is seriously at risk!
The TPP would give big business the ability to sue governments for protecting the public interest through local laws and regulations...
Which means that the FIVE YEARS activists like you worked on New York's fracking ban could all be undermined by multi-national corporations who want to access the state's natural gas.
