Get informed - Threats Posed by TPP
More Power to Corporations to Attack NationsRead how foreign corporations would be empowered to attack our health, environmental and other laws before foreign tribunals to demand taxpayer compensation for policies they think undermine their expected future profits. |
Threats to Public HealthU.S. negotiators are pushing the agenda of Big PhaRMA – longer monopoly control on drugs for the big firms. This would mean millions in developing countries are cut off from life-saving medicines & higher prices for the rest of us. |
Bye Buy America & JobsRead how special investor protections incentivize offshoring by providing special benefits for companies that leave. Plus, TPP would impose limits on how our elected officials can use tax dollars – banning Buy America or Buy Local preferences. |
Undermining Food SafetyTPP would require us to import food that does not meet U.S. safety standards. It would limit food labeling. |
Son of SOPA: Curtailing Internet FreedomThought SOPA was bad? Read how TPP would require internet service providers to "police" user-activity and treat individual violators as large-scale for-profit violators. Plus, TPP would stifle innovation. |
Financial Deregulation: Banksters' DelightTPP would rollback reregulation of Wall Street. It would prohibit bans on risky financial services and undermine "too big to fail" regulations. |
