TPP: the worst trade deal you've never heard of

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Republicans in Congress want to work with the Obama administration to fast-track the passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).¹

The TPP is the largest—and worst—trade deal you've never heard of, having been devised in secret by representatives of some of the world's largest corporations.²

It's so big and has the potential to do so much damage, it's been likened to "NAFTA on steroids."³ Watch this short video to see what I mean:

Will you help spread the word about fast track and the TPP by watching and sharing the video right now?

Thanks for all you do.

–Robert Reich

P.S. Once you've watched the video, please join the growing chorus of Americans who are saying no to fast track and the TPP by adding your name to this petition from Larry Cohen, president of the Communication Workers of America.
