HUGE, juicy news. The European Commission just said it wants all 28 EU member parliaments to individually approve its trade deal with Canada, CETA -- TTIP's cousin.
But there's a big catch: it wants to launch the deal before parliaments agree.
And if your parliament says no, parts of the deal will stay in effect anyway.
We've got to act now to stop this. If we succeed, this will set a precedent to also stop TTIP, the other secret trade deal with the United States.
Could you please chip in now to stop CETA today?
And extra bad news if you live in the UK -- CETA will still bind the UK to the deal for TWENTY YEARS once it's implemented.
That's why we need to stop the deal today.
We've campaigned hard to put an end to dodgy trade deals like the TPP and TTIP. Negotiators have been trying to sneak them into action for literally years, but thanks to people like you acting to stop them, neither deal has been implemented yet.
All eyes are on this deal right now -- governments know that if CETA comes into effect, it opens the door for TTIP to be imposed on us too.
We've fought so hard that we can't stop at this critical moment. Everything is up for grabs, from the healthcare we receive, the price we pay for medicine, to the food we eat and the rights we have at work.
Can you donate today so we can launch an emergency campaign to stop CETA being forced upon us?
