Congress is considering approving Fast Track Trade Authority. \u00a0If it passes, stopping secret trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership<\/a>, which is a give away\u00a0to the copyright cartels, would be much more difficult.<\/p>\n

We are joining with Fight For The Future, the EFF, Sierra Club and the AFL-CIO to oppose this bill.<\/p>\n

On Friday\u00a0we will march as part of the\u00a0Inter-Continental Action Against TPP & Corporate Globalization<\/strong>. Many of us will\u00a0meet in front of the State House in Boston at\u00a01pm<\/a>. \u00a0We hope you will march with us.<\/p>\n

If you cannot make it,\u00a0please contact your Senators and Representative and tell them to oppose Fast Track.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fight for the Future has\u00a0a site to look up your Representative<\/a>, but if you know who your Rep. is, we have the contact info for your Rep. & Senators below. \u00a0We hear that Neal, Tsongas, Kennedy,\u00a0Clark\u00a0and\u00a0Lynch haven’t said they will oppose the Fast Track bill, so please concentrate on them. \u00a0Saying thanks to those who do oppose this harmful bill is always great.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n
