Rock-TPPSEATTLE (Aug. 19, 2016) — Activists plan to use the power of music tonight to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Digital activist group Fight For The Future has put together Rock Against the TPP, which is touring the country to raise awareness about the massive 12-nation trade deal.

Gillian Locascio, director of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition, a tour sponsor, said she believes the worst part of the deal gives corporations the ability to challenge the laws of nations that are part of the agreement.
“Probably the most alarming aspect of the Trans-Pacific Partnership is the inclusion of these corporate courts that really allow these foreign multinational companies to sue a country for laws that limit their future anticipated profits,” Locascio said.
