This town hall provides a public platform to labor, civil rights, consumer and other constituencies that have views on “digital trade” that differ greatly from those of Big Tech lobbyists.<br class=""><br class="">In addition to Rep. Jayapal, participants include Lori Wallach of Rethink Trade, Cherika Carter of the Washington State Labor Council, Jen Lee of ACLU Washington, Josua Mata of SENTRO and Julie Bouanna of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition. </div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="text-align: center;" class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GAaTt3e7SAGqzdm4tJJ6cA" class=""><b class="">Watch the livestream from the University of Washington and join the realtime conversation by RSVPing here.</b></a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="">
