Wednesday, May 7, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
More than 1,000 activists from
unions, greens, citizen
groups,students and other groups will hear from members of Congress and rally
for fair, 21st century tradetoday at 1:30p at the U.S.
Capitol (Upper Senate
Park; Independence
across from the Capitol). “Our failed trade policies have left working people
behind for the past 20 years,” says CWA, which is spearheading the event.
“Now,
Congress is toying with the idea of giving the president ‘fast track’ trade
authority —a green light to push through more flawed trade deals. We need to
make our voices heard before it’s too late.” photo courtesy CWA
