Thanks to the calls of SumOfUs members like you, we thought we’d delivered the deathblow to TPP. But Asia-Pacific trade ministers just met in Vietnam to try to bring the trade deal back from the dead.

Even without the U.S., the TPP still risks turning democracies across the globe into corporate-controlled zombies, rendering governments helpless to cross a corporate agenda for fear of lawsuits in secretive corporate tribunals.

It was our people power that knocked the TPP off its fast track, with the deal’s massive unpopularity encouraging Trump to pull the U.S. from the deal. But with trade ministers from the remaining eleven countries trying to resurrect the deal, we have to stop this zombie trade deal from coming back from the dead.  

Call on the remaining eleven TPP member states to lay TPP to rest once and for all.

The original TPP was crafted during years of secret negotiations shaped by corporate lobbyists -- and it shows. At it’s core, this is a corporate rights deal that gives corporations the right to sue our governments for threatening their “expected” profits, weakening government’s ability to protect workers, public health, and the planet itself.

Even without the U.S., a resurrected TPP would have massive repercussions -- including threatening global commitments made in Paris last year to prevent irreversible climate change. And without access to the U.S. market as a major incentive, we have the chance to sway trade ministers that may be on the fence about bringing the deal back.

For now, we have the upper hand -- but it won’t stay that way for long. We have to stop the TPP from coming back from the dead before it regains momentum. That’s why we’re coming together now to tell representatives from the remaining eleven member states to let the trade deal die once and for all.

Tell trade ministers from the remaining eleven TPP member states not to bring TPP back from the dead.
