What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Karen Hansen-Kuhn Bill Moyers has called the TransPacific Partnership a "corporate/investor rights agreement, not a trade agreement". Debate about threatened citizen rights and national sovereignty began in earnest with publication of formerly secret terms this fall, many worse than expected. Guest Karen Hansen-Kuhn cut her teeth on trade and economic justice working on NAFTA in the early 90s; she has seen one proposed deal stopped. Now she directs trade, technology, and global governance for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Karen describes the contact with representatives that will matter between January and the up-or-down Congressional vote this spring and gives an encouraging context for US resistance by describing mobilization against TPP in other countries.
