Join Trade Justice NY Metro to Learn More And Help Pass A NYC Resolution Against Fast Track.  Global trade agreements that are “Fast Tracked” through Congress, which is what supporters intend for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), harm us in ways we don’t know about until it is too late. Like NAFTA, the TPP will outsource jobs, hurt our environment, threaten food safety and access to medicines, limit internet freedom and roll back recent Wall St. regulations. The “investor-state” provision will also severely limit the rights of participating countries, including the US, to pass their own laws and reforms in these and other areas. If we do, we could be sued by large corporations for damaging their “future expected profits.”
