January 2014 marks the twenty-year anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a pact that has had devastating consequences for people and the environment in all three countries and beyond.  The pending Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has been described as 'NAFTA on steriods' and threatens to:

• Destroy livlihoods - accelerating the global race to the bottom in wages and working conditions. 
• Further commodify agriculture, trample food sovereignty, hurt small farmers and contribute to forced migration. 
• Enable corporate attacks on environmental policies to combat climate change.
• Reduce access to life-saving generic medications - raising drug prices.

Speakers:
Rob Sisk - President of SEIU 503,
Bonnie McKinlay - 350 pdx,
Benjamin Gerritz - Positive Force NW and
Justin Katigbak - Portland Committee on Human Rights in the Philippines (PSU student group).
