WHAT IS THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) and Why You Should Care About
It. The TPP is a so-called trade agreement and if you haven’t heard of
it, that’s because trade representatives from 11 countries along with 600 U.S.
corporate lobbyists are busy crafting their attack on most of us in secret.
Common goal? Maximizing their profits. Projected results? Bad for our lives, our
jobs, our health, and our environment. Carol Simpson will lead this
discussion.
February 2 –
UNIVERSALISM: PAST, PRESENT, AND POWERFUL The speaker this
morning is Kalen Fristad. Kalen has served as a United Methodist
minister for more than 37 years.
