> After more than 5 years of negotiation, countries negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) announced that they reached a deal on the agreement this month. Despite the fact that this "trade" agreement would have massive impacts on our environment, healthcare, workers' rights, and much more, TPP governments have negotiated it in secrecy with input from "advisers" from huge multinational corporations.
