Coalition Rally Against Fast Track and the TPP
Where: Upper Senate Park
When: Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.
What: Join with MoveOn members and our progressive allies as we rally in the nation's capitol against Fast Track and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). We'll be joined by members of Congress along with allies from Public Citizen and organized labor, social justice, environmental, food safety and Internet freedom groups. After our rally in the park we will deliver petitions to Congress demanding that they "Vote NO on Fast Track," and "Stop the Secrecy" by making the TPP negotiating text public. Communications Workers of America (CWA) is sponsoring the rally, and our allies at Open Media will be broadcasting a light projection on a D.C. building that night, showing how many people have signed petitions!
In addition, the Fair Trade Resource Network has a list of events in the US and Canada.
There are also numerous events planned for Saturday. The World Fair Trade Organizaton has a list of Saturday events here.
