Unions want one thing from Hillary tonight: a stake in TPP’s heart

July 28, 2016Action Alerts

“Unions want one thing from Hillary tonight: A stake in TPP’s heart,” The Hill reports. If Hillary denounces the TPP tonight in her acceptance speech at the DNC in Philadelphia, “labor officials believe it would kill any chance of moving the pact in a lame-duck Congress after the election.”

Call your Senator now at (202) 224-3121. When you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:

“I urge you to press Secretary Clinton to clearly state her opposition to the TPP in her acceptance speech tonight.”

When you’ve made your call, please report it below.

And if you haven’t yet signed our petition to Senate Democrats, urging that they press Secretary Clinton to oppose the TPP in her speech tonight, you can do that here.
