About the Panel

Betraying his promise to oppose "unconscionable" NAFTA-style free deals, President Obama in October sent free trade agreements (FTAs) with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea to Congress to be voted on, despite on-going human rights abuses and opposition to the agreements from popular movements in all three countries.  Now his administration is engaged in secret negotiations to develop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP),a nine-country free trade agreement that will outsource jobs, endanger rainforests, limit access to affordable medications, undermine internet freedom, and  replace family farms with corporate agribusiness. 600 corporations have been granted consultative status to the negotiations, but social justice movements have been completely locked out.  Learn why we must oppose FTAs, find out what you can do to hold Obama and the Congressmembers who voted for the Colombia, Panama, and South Korea FTAs accountable, and discuss what we can do to derail the Trans-Pacific Partnership before it's sent to Congress.
