1. CASA de Virginia is a good organization.

Sum of Us - very clever name.

2. And remember - it is NOT just American citizens who are against this corporate coup.

There have been, and will be, huge demonstrations in other TPP countries.

And there are demonstrations in Europe against the TPIP - one of the TPP's base siblings.

3. Wonder if there will be other marches around the country

I can't get to DC but would spend a day going to my state capitol or a nearby city, the nearest being 100 miles from me but I would go.

6. At its root, the TPP is about modern colonialism.

“At its root, the TPP is about modern colonialism. It is the way that Western governments and their transnational corporations, including Wall Street banks, can dominate the economies of developing nations,” said Margaret Flowers, co-director of Popular Resistance. She continued “The reality is that without trade justice there cannot be climate justice, food justice; there cannot be health justice or wage justice. That is why people are mobilizing to stop the TPP.”

Mackenzie McDonald Wilkins, organizer for Flush The TPP, said: “The TPP impacts every issue we care about as a result, a unified movement of movements to stop the TPP has developed. People who care about corporate power versus democracy and our sovereignty or about jobs and workers, the environment and climate change, health care, food and water, energy regulation of banks are mobilizing to make stopping the TPP their top priority.”
