Nicaragua Network

The Nicaragua Network urges you to join the fight to stop the TPP! The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, is a massive new trade and investment pact being pushed behind closed doors by the U.S. government at the behest of transnational corporations. U.S. negotiators have granted approximately 600 corporate lobbyists special “cleared advisor” status that enables them to review and comment on draft TPP texts, while flatly refusing to tell the public what they are proposing in our names.

What we know about the TPP comes from leaked texts, discussions with negotiators from other countries and a handful of public statements and written testimony. If transnational corporations get their way, the TPP will serve two primary purposes:

1. Making it easier to shift jobs throughout the world to wherever labor is the most exploited and environmental regulations are the weakest; and

2. Putting checks on democracy at home and abroad by constraining communities’ ability to adopt new public-interest regulations.
