AFL-CIO Challenges U.S. Trade Rep to Declassify the TPP

Local activists are urged to join the AFL-CIO as they unveil a dramatic message to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative tomorrow morning at 10a (see calendar), urging it to declassify the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) draft text and show the American people what’s actually in the agreement. A diverse coalition of progressive groups is concerned that the secrecy around the TPP negotiations hurts working families. A group of concerned citizens will then walk to the USTR office and ask to read the text of the TPP, which President Obama has said is not secret.
