<h2><big><big><big>Nov. 8th to 14th Week of Action: Say NO to
Fast Track and Unjust Trade!</big></big></big></h2>

fall, communities across the U.S. will once again join
international allies in a global week of action against
unjust trade. With Obama pushing to announce a TPP
“framework” in November and the threat of Fast Track
tripling in the lame-duck session, we need to
demonstrate that hundreds of thousands still oppose
corporate agreements meant to put profit before people
and the planet.</big></big></big></p>
<big><big><big> </big></big></big>
<p><big><big><big><strong>Let us know if you think your
community can hold an action of any kind this
November, and help us stand beside those resisting
unjust trade from New Zealand to New York.</strong></big></big></big></p>

<big><big><big> </big></big></big>
<p><big><big><big>If you live in the United States, this week is
also important because it is when members of Congress
will return to Washington, DC for the first time after
the elections. The period between Thanksgiving and the
Winter Break is often when Congress passes toxic bills
because they think that the public is not paying
attention. <strong>We must let them know that we are
watching and we oppose Fast Track.</strong></big></big></big></p>
<big><big><big> </big></big></big>
<p><big><big><big>Let us know if you think your community could
be one of those demonstrating that millions still oppose
toxic trade – from one side of the Pacific to the other.</big></big></big></p>

<big><big><big> </big></big></big>
<p style="text-align: left;"><big><big><big>Fast Track,also
called Trade Promotion Authority, is a law that Obama is
asking Congress to pass that would give the President
the power to negotiate and sign these massive agreements
with minimal Congressional oversight. Congress would
have a short period of time to review the thousands of
pages of legal language, restricted debate and no right
to make amendments. Such a process is undemocratic and
untransparent. It would make a review of the impacts of
these agreements impossible.</big></big></big></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><big><big><big><strong>We must stop
Fast Track and demand that we know what is in these
agreements and what it means to our lives and our
