No to
the corporate power grab!
Trade
for the benefit of people not corporations!
October
10 - 17, 2015: International Days of Action for Democracy, Social
Justice and our Public Services
We, civil
society organisations, trade unions, farmers and grassroots activists
from both sides of the Atlantic oppose TTIP, CETA, TiSA and TPP.
These sinister trade deals threaten our democracy, public services,
and social & environmental standards, and jeopardise small-scale
quality farming, food and pharmaceutical standards, the indispensable
energy transition, and our right and ability to change society for
the better. The beneficiaries of these agreements are the big
corporations who designed and lobbied for them, not citizens.
In Europe,
the movement against TTIP and CETA has grown massively over the past
two years. On 6 October, the European Citizens’ Initiative against
TTIP and CETA will complete its year with over 2.5 million
signatories. To celebrate this success and reinforce our demands, we
will take to the streets on 10 October. At the same time, thousands
will march across Europe, converge in Brussels to block the October
15 EU Summit, and say no to austerity, poverty and TTIP.
In North
America, Latin America, and the Pacific people are organizing to
defeat the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) likely to be completed
later this year or in early 2016. Citizens in the US will be
bypassed: Barack Obama was recently granted the power to Fast Track
these secret deals through the US Congress. However, people in all of
the TPP countries are coming together like never before for a
concerted escalation to stop corporate globalization and build
political, economic, and social relations based on justice, not
greed.
Across the
Atlantic, we have seen over the last decades a massive transfer of
power from the public to private interests, a push for economic and
financial liberalisation, growing inequalities, poverty and
environmental destructions. TTIP, CETA, TiSA and TPP are attempts to
make these erroneous decisions irreversible. Our struggle to stop
these secret deals therefore resonates with social movements
resisting austerity, fighting for climate and social justice.
From October
10 to 17, join marches, mass demonstrations or organize local actions
all over Europe and North America. Stop TTIP, CETA, TiSA and the TPP!
No to the corporate power grab!
We fight for
equality, social and labour rights, climate justice and real
democracy.
Join Us.
