The top-secret Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) was JUST leaked by Greenpeace -- and it’s worse than we thought.
The leaked text proves that corporations and their political allies especially, in the U.S. government, are pushing hard to allow secret corporate courts to override environmental and consumer protections passed by democratically elected officials.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Negotiators are trying to give Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and BASF more influence at the negotiating table -- and protections against unsafe products like carcinogenic cosmetics are under attack.
Last week, 90,000 people (including SumOfUs members like you) marched in the streets of Hanover, Germany against TTIP, and global opposition to this deal is growing by the day. But if we want to stop this deal, we need to scale up our work urgently.
