Breaking It Down: What Is The Trans-Pacific Partnership?

May 19, 2015 – Segment 4

We host an important discussion about an international agreement currently being hotly debated between Congress and the President – one that will affect all of us, but about which most of us know very little – the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).

Joining us to explain the TPP and what it would mean for our lives and our world are: Kevin Zeese, Co-Director at ItsOurEconomy.US and co-host ofClearing The Fog radio show; and Imara Jones, Host of CaffeineTV, an online daily news brief, and Economic Justice contributor for Colorlines.com. Jones served in the Clinton White House, where he worked on international trade policy and was an executive at Viacom.
