WHAT?
We’ll call on Rep. Scott Peters to oppose fast tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We’ll have signs, visuals (and our SD350 t-shirts!). At Scripps Institution of Oceanography – in Rep. Peter’s district and a world premier climate research institution. In collaboration with Sierra Club San Diego, Environmental Health Coalition, Climate Action Campaign, SD County Democrats for Environmental Action, Animal Protection and Rescue League and Women Occupy San Diego. Please also call Rep. Peters’ office to let him know this is an important issue for you: 858-455-5550.

WHY OPPOSE THE TPP? 

This secret trade agreement crafted by multi-national corporations would undermine climate, health and labor regulations. It would allow fossil fuel companies to sue governments that take action to stop climate change (under ISDS) and eliminate environmental reviews of fracked gas export facilities. 85% of the people writing this deal are from lobbying groups for massive corporations like Exxon and Nike. Finally, the TPP is being written in secret, and the American people can’t read the bill – only members of Congress can, by entering a secure windowless room without a phone, any notes, or staff.
