The Democratic Party Platform Must Include Opposition to the TPP
Democratic Party Platform Committee
By a narrow majority, the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee voted not to include opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in the draft platform.
The TPP is a bad trade deal that will hurt working families, the environment, consumers and our communities. It’s a deal negotiated by and for the 1 percent. Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have pledged to oppose the TPP. The Democratic Party must show that it’s on the side of working Americans by taking a stand against the TPP.
It's not too late. The full Democratic Platform Committee will meet on July 8-9 in Orlando, FL to approve the final draft of the platform. CWA and our allies are pushing the Committee to include strong opposition to the TPP as part of the platform.
We’ve been fighting hard to stop the TPP. Stand up again and sign the petition calling on the Democratic Party to say no to the TPP.

The Democratic Platform Committee must stand with working families and communities and reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I urge the Platform Committee to adopt language representing the position of the overwhelming majority of Democrats, making clear the party's opposition to the TPP and urging Congress to not hold a vote on it in the lame duck session.
