lives to keep not they from popping twenty years ago they knew despite all the promise and economic stability and a battery life that their communities were stuck for they were right and we were sold and continues to be sold like panix we have seen the environment devastated along the border and in the interior of mexico by this financial interest that have been to put it by now in this country we have seen hundreds of thousands of jobs lost for domestic immigrant workers as interest greece assumed a problem where the salaries are super low creating super explain to condition for workers in those she represents the cutest down advocates for retirement action environmental commuting and she will be sharing about nafta and we also welcome to the stage band wagon bought and thirteen year old from playing for the plan it all   the planet to being raped by the by greed we're supposed to stand by not doing anything but what you're not going to shut mind using arsenic eccentric cetera well the farmers begin to resist that and they got the church to go along with them and they got the government of el salvadorans you take away the permit for mining they are now facing a multimillion dollar suit right on target one of our favorites he's cargill and arthur daniels midland and another group called korn to try to get mexico to stop taxing but we need to remember and we need to resist we also need to have both i have some very very good news for you because of the tireless actions of everyone here and in particular our next two speakers two days ago democratic majority leader senator harry reid came out against fast track track and so at least if it does move forward it will not be an up or down vote in our tonight's speakers we'll tell you more about that we are so lucky to have linda and soon he was secretary treasurer of the washington state labor coun multinational corporations determine our trade policies we've seen in other words that we can have trade policies that protect workers rights protect the environment promote higher standards of living polluters such as halliburton g e chevron the national council and the nuclear energy institute are at that table for the last three years they have been allowed to see clearly craft a trade deal that benefits generations ask us if we did everything we could to halt climate change he wants to say yes we did why i'm here to say no we didn't we have not even scratched the surface on what needs to be done to protect our planet in our children's future from catastrophic climate change and all of the above energy policy combined with a stance of trade deals designed to protect polluters profits prove that his commitment to fighting climate change is left wanting the current strong commitments to help protect natural resources this goes against everything we're working so hard again this goes against environmental protections disastrous climate change and corporate personhood getting money out of politics raising our standard of living it raising the minimum wage i mean here to talk congress to reject fast track and i hope that you two to laden food poison and put it in our communities however the next speaker is the antidote to all of that reverend robert jeffrey is the senior pastor of new hope baptist church in the founder of the black dollar days task force and not for profit committee to facilitate economic self sufficiency for inner city african americans the black dollar detax spores found a clean green they manage a twenty three and we're still so fortunate to have our next speaker to explain why global health advocates around the world are act actively organizing against the t v pete mary and mercer is on the faculty at the department of global how the university of our health pet me very very worried me and many other global health people around the world i'll give you a couple of examples specific examples but actually everything incentives talk to this headset so far today is going to us so we is a huge public health threat but even though it's a legal product trade agreements up till now once we've already heard about are being used to prevent sovereign countries from can trolling the marketing of tobacco used today is friday sick in the developing countries we may have gotten some lower rates here at least temporarily but it's getting higher in most basically most of the work countries of the world so that the future at the at the price generic drugs reflect it has other provisions that will restrict access to lifesaving drugs like it was for aids treatment for cancer treatment and you are doing this for cancer treatment and these remember for people  we know they care about their profits and their shareholders and very little about their workers injury justice were allied with workers around the world we also need to remember that we don't have to look outside of our communities to see how these corporations treat organization you need to respect that walmart jerry also comes from the philippines since he knows firsthand the negative economic impact  here i just want to say a little bit that you know this already been settled by the speakers but we know that t v p and all the other for us so called free trade agreements have nothing to do with freedom or trade but are about securing the global dominance of us corporate power of profits that have nothing to do with benefits for workers and the poor and ordinary people either here or in the trading partners place they forgot to tell us that the free in free trade meant the freedom for the one percent to reap profits at the expense of good paying jobs freedom for them three profits at the expense of the poor farmers and local economies in the colonial countries freedom for them to reap profits at the expense of real democracy for the ninety nine percent in reserves and they're not investing in the economy when the stock market is at historic highs all this that's happening at the same time as poverty is rising that you know the majority of workers the majority of people  same time as wall street and corporations are benefiting from our misery that is the dirty details of the t t t were really expose what all of this no good news is though we don't always have to play defense with comes to fighting for our living standards the moment despite for fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage in seattle and nationwide gives us an enormous opportunity to make an offensive sounds as to who's fighting for a higher minimum wage and what not and we should say that the ridiculous nigger's of ten dollars and ten cents or otherwise are not living wages that we should be fighting for fifteen dollars an hour  in order to actually make this happen we need masses of people to get involved we need people to organize in their neighborhoods we would organize protests educate each other about issues and to organize and that if we actually win this fight for fifteen dollars an hour which i don't have enormous confidence that we can it will actually weaken the confidence of the ruling class the capitalists in wall street to bring down other attacks on us or whether you want good jobs here in the u s or i brought it's going to affect all of us so i had a dream that when these kind of protests where it's just about morning economics that defense and keep them from getting a touchdown then they would be able to see the tax papers
