TPP Action Day Australia - advice from AFTINET


The Leaders of the 12 TPP countries will meet on November 10-11 at the APEC Leaders’ meeting.
They want to announce the outlines of an agreement to be finalised early in 2015. The danger is that foreign investors will gain the right to influence our laws and sue our governments, reducing our rights to affordable medicines, internet freedom, local culture, labour rights and the environment.
Protests are being organised in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra, and in TPP countries around the globe.Sydney  When:  11 am Saturday November 8
Where:  Meet at the TPP banner on the seaward side of Sydney Cove, South of the Opera House, opposite the Dendy Cinema.  This spot enables pics both of the Opera House and of the bridge in the background.
What: bring anti-TPP signs, your organisation’s flag or banner for pictures.
If you are from another city, let us know if you want to organise there. We will circulate details as we get them.
