Leo Gerard, President, USW: “This is a prescription for disaster.”
Ralph Nader, Consumer Advocate: “The most brazen corporate power grab in American history”.
Michael Brune, Sierra Club: “The Trans-Pacific Partnership would empower big polluters to challenge climate and environmental safeguards in private trade courts and would expand trade in dangerous fossil fuels that would increase fracking and imperil our climate.”
Bernie Sanders, Senator: “Bad trade deals like the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership are a major reason for the collapse of the American middle class and the increase in wealth and income inequality in the United States.”
Keith Ellison, Congressman: “I’m not against trade…but they’re not really trade deals. They’re really investment deals between international corporations…They’re saying we want to get a race to the bottom so we can exploit the most unfortunate worker.”
WE MUST stop the Trans Pacific Partnership!
