not from the top down is rising in the developing countries we may have gotten some lorries here at least temporarily but it's getting higher in almost basically most of the poor countries of the world so that the future at the at the price of millions and seriously limit access to affordable generic drugs here around the world the us is proposing that we let pharmaceutical companies extend their patents you know it's twenty years for patent already they'll be allowed to extend it for trivial reasons well beyond that twenty years and twenty years is already too long because as you know the drugs that are captured are extremely high priced and here to the simple cost of producing them which to look outside of our communities to see how these corporations treat their workers because these workers are neither ours they are family they are us i would lead you in breaking the stage gerry holiday got great lawyer right join thinking myself this is not right there's got to be something that i can go one knowing somebody agreements have nothing to do with freedom or trade but are about securing the global dominance of us corporate power and profits that have nothing to do with benefits for workers and the poor an ordinary people either here or in trading partners political servants of big business were pushing non student and all the other trade agreements since then they promised those it would bring jobs and better living standards but we know it's the opposite has tak place they forgot to tell us that the free is free trade meant the freedom for the one percent to reprove it's at the expense of good paying jobs freedom for them during profits at the expense of poor foreigners and local economies and you know the local conference freedom to them to reap profits and the expense of real democracy for the ninety nine percent same time as wall street and corporations are benefitting from our misery those are dirty details of the t t p were really expose what all of this was happening today with because they're afraid this would cause a social explosion and for us we should see the t t p not just as a problem on its own or free trade as a problem of the soul but as a symptom the good news is that we don't always have to play defense when it comes to fighting for our living standards the momentous fight for fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage and nationwide gives us an enormous opportunity to make an offensive world order to actually make this happen we need masses of people to get involved we people to organize in their neighborhoods we have people to organize protests educate each other about the issues  house you know about eleven years ago the back of campaign started on dash and i learned you are doing backbones a democrat says we really gave up on that pretty quick once we realize you know it's it's actually we the people have to have a backbone about twenty years damn it the ground and i was like wow i'm alive you know my arms are broken my legs are broken well ok you know get up to try to get up and then i discovered the idea of getting out was not enough i was shattered three vertebrae and i couldn't move the idea into my body so the idea of having a backbone is the idea of moving down the use and vision and ideas with the sacredness of life community and the planet and only a body so government with sacrifice sovereignty and our capacity to pass laws to defend communities human rights and democracy itself for the benefit of future pro we cannot shy away from these moments and these are your front line troops with peace and love in their hearts but may be strong so let's hear from you what they did today representative sort of office dennis here it was actually a new representative but he hasn't come out with a very firm statement one way or the other on the t p p so we tried to convince him that he needed to stand up for the workers for the environment in for democracy and that if he were good for for fast tracking he'd be voting for their core part prosy instead of democracy thirteen of us went in there and did we have had numerous presentations for community members we tend presentations at western washington university about t v we had articles in the local paper we have had letter writing campaigns we stand out on the street passing out banners we've been working tirelessly well we hosted a backbone asim training we've done everything we can think of and this morning we went to rec larsen's office and presented him with a letter with all the reasons why we think he is a bad idea and we told him well no one fast track
