TPP Teach-in Ames March 13
Steve Abbott, President of the CWA Iowa State Council:
Join us on Thursday, March 13th 6:30 pm at the Ames City Council Chambers for a Trans Pacific Partnership Teach-In!
Teach-in on how trade agreements affect jobs, the environment, social justice and the ability of local governments to govern. Detailed talk on the Trans Pacific Partnership and what happens if “Fast Track” is enacted.
If you remember NAFTA, you will want to hear about the TPP.
Additional sponsors include Americans for Democratic Action, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Iowa Citizens Action Network, Progress Iowa, Iowa Federation of Labor, Iowa Alliance of Retired Americans, UAW Region 4 and Teamsters.
Be there to learn about the proposed policies that would send jobs overseas, take away the rights of workers, and destroy the environment — and how we can work together to fight for alternatives that create an economy that works for everyone, not just the Wall Street 1%.
Here’s what you need to know:
Who: open to the public — everyone!
What: community teach-in on the Trans Pacific Partnership, a trade deal that continues NAFTA’s global race to the bottom, and how we can fight back. Light refreshments provided.
When: Thursday, March 13th, 6:30PM
Where: Ames City Council Chambers, 515 Clark Ave, Ames, IA

See you on March 13th!
