You may have heard of the TPP…
…but do you know what’s in it? Right now, the Obama administration and giant corporations are spreading misinformation about the Trans-Pacific Partnership and how it will affect Americans. But if you read it, you’ll see that the TPP threatens to corrupt our democracy by giving corporations control over the government.
This site is a public resource created by Fight for the Future, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Communications Workers of America. We are publishing the full TPP text along with expert annotations explaining how it could actually affect you. This site is a work in progress, and everyone is welcome to contribute.
