We are on the cusp of ending the era of toxic trade agreements. Now is the time to keep the pressure on!
The World Trade Organization begins its next meeting on December 3 and more than 90 organizations and social movements in Indonesia have called for a global day of action that day.
Flush the TPP joined the call to action and many of you have already stepped up to plan events in your communities. You can find them on the action map here.

If there isn't an action near you, plan one and let us know. Contact Cassidy at StopFastTrack at FlushtheTPP.org. She can help you with ideas. It can be as simple as contacting some friends and holding signs up in a public place.
As the TPP negotiations come to an end, we've learned that the US, led by Assistant Trade Rep Stan McCoy, has upped its bullying tactics.
This is wrong! This doesn't represent our values. We've started a petition calling for a respectful, democratic and transparent negotiating process. Sign and share the petition here.
We will deliver the petition by hand to the Office of the US Trade Representative on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at noon. If you are close to Washington, DC, please join us.
You can also write to Stan McCoy here: smccoy at ustr.eop.gov and include the USTR office at correspondence at ustr.eop.gov. And you can call McCoy here: 202-395-4510.
It only takes a few minutes and thousands of emails and calls will make a difference. Please contact Stan McCoy and tell him to stop being a bully and don't trade away our lives for corporate profits. Urge your friends to do the same.
Thanks for all you do -- and can’t wait to continue our work together against the TPP!
Please share this email with others.
Yours for fair trade,
The Flush the TPP Team
