Wash. DC, Anti TPP Activists March on Morgan Stanley, Monsanto, Chamber of Commerce, Reagan Bldg.



Activists united against the Trans Pacific Trade Partnership deal disrupted the Washington, DC offices of investment firm Morgan Stanley Monday night, Nov. 16. Protesters say the trade deal threatens health care, jobs, the environment and workers' rights. Anti TPP rallies are being held in Washington throughout the week.

Morgan Stanley is one of many US companies supporting the TPP and has spent $10 million on lobbying over the past three years.
The investment firm is also a big supporter of the Clinton family, even though presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reviewed her position on the TPP last month.

After activists left Morgan Stanley, they marched on the Chamber of Commerce, Monsanto's Headquarters, the US Trade Representatives Office and the Reagan International Trade Building.
