Hey All,

TODAY (2/9) is a national call-in day against the TPP!
**Remember: the TPP was signed last week, but if it is not approved by Congress, then it won't go forward!!

It takes literally two minutes, and every call can influence how a representative decides to vote. Every call moves us one stop closer to stopping the TPP.

Here's how you do it:
Dial (855) 856-7545. You will hear a quick message about the TPP from AFL-CIO (they are leading the call-in).
Type in your zip code. You will be connected you to your rep's office and their staff will pick up the phone -- or if it's after hours, you can leave a message.
Introduce yourself and tell your rep why you oppose the TPP. You can use the following script:

"Hi, my name is _______ and I am from [TOWN]. I’m calling Representative _____ to urge them to vote against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This international free trade agreement affecting 40% of the global economy was just signed last week and could come up for a vote this spring. The TPP would hurt markets for family farmers and fishermen, increase corporate consolidation in agriculture, and challenge food sovereignty in the US and abroad. The TPP threatens the future of our generation. I urge Representative _____ to vote NO on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Thank you."

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the meal last night! The food was great, the people were amazing, and we even did a photo petition to tell DVZ to sign the Real Food Campus Commitment! Rock on root veggies!!
