In Letter to Congress, UE and 1,500 Organizations Oppose TPP

January 8, 2016

UE is one of 1,525 organizations who have signed a letter urging Congress to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).   Click here to read the letter. Click here to read coverage in the Washington Post.   

The letter describes many ways the TPP would give more power to corporations, export good-paying jobs, and undermine the environment, public health, food safety, and democracy.

On Thursday, January 7 the letter was just sent up to all U.S. Representatives and Senators on the Hill. Activists in constituent organizations of the Citizens Trade Campaign (CTC), which organized the letter, will also be hand-delivering the letter to many local district offices of members of Congress during the upcoming Congressional recess (January 14 - 24).  

CTC also encourages you to email the letter to your members of Congress, with a heads-up that your group is among the many asking them to publicly oppose the TPP.
