INVITE: Join Sen. Sanders & State Legislators On Conf Call FRIDAY About Fast Track Campaign
On Friday, March 16th at 1pm EST, the Progressive States Network will be sponsoring a conference call to discuss the campaign for state resolutions opposing "fast track" reauthorization and how states can make their voices heard in the trade debate. (see here for more).
The call is open to the media and the public. Speakers on the call include U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is leading the fight against fast track reauthorization in Congress; Montana State Senator Jim Elliott, who recently passed an anti-fast track resolution through the Montana senate by a wide bipartisan margin; and representatives from organizations active on trade issues like Public Citizen and the AFL-CIO, all of whom have been outspoken on the danger of federal trade deals undercutting state authority to promote good jobs and safe communities.
The call will be a chance to discuss both the language used in the resolution opposing fast track that was recently approved by the Montana State Senate, how we can mobilize to introduce and pass additional resolutions in other states, and how state actions can have an impact on decisions being made in the US Congress
