They've just announced more top-secret TPP talks -- and they're starting THIS WEEK in Atlanta. We need to launch an emergency push to stop this deal.
Please, will you chip in to stop the TPP for good?

A,
We just found out the TPP is back.
A new round of negotiations is starting this week Atlanta. The details were kept top-secret until the last minute, and right now we need to scramble to stop while we still have time.
This week, John Key admitted that New Zealand probably isn't going to get anything close to a good deal for everyday Kiwis -- instead, he'll still sign away our access to medicine, affordable drugs, and even our democracy to corporate interests.
We helped to organise a huge protest that stopped a final deal in Hawaii last month -- and now we have to do it again. Right now, we need to fight like hell to make sure they can’t sneak this deal past us.
Can you chip in to launch an all-out emergency fight against the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

The reason negotiators are having such a hard time reaching agreement is because of all of our hard work for the past two years.
At the last round of negotiations in Maui, our major protest we helped organize (and Guinness Book of World Record-break conch-blowing, a Hawaiian tradition whose purpose is to draw attention to something that’s about to occur) made international headline news, and helped stall the deal.
We keep showing our politicians that there’s too much at stake if they try to pass this deal.
Right now, we need to get to work planning a major mobilisation on short notice. Here are some of the tactics we could do if we raise enough:
- Put massive full-page ads in local Atlanta-area newspapers that the TPP negotiators will see over their morning breakfast;
- Target major corporations with a huge presence in Atlanta to make them speak out against the deal;
- Hire organizers to lead an on-the-ground mobilization, and do a major press push
We need to make this the biggest anti-TPP mobilisation yet -- but we need your help to pull it off on short notice.
Will you chip in to stop the TPP for good?

Last month, corporate lobbyists thought they’d finally sign off on the TPP deal. But something amazing happened: With protesters in the street and politicians feeling pressure, negotiations broke down. They couldn't finalise the deal.
I can’t tell you how proud I was of this community for coming together and playing such a major role in stalling the TPP. This could be the last chance for the deal -- let’s make sure it can never see the light of day.
