#NoLameDuck Uprising to Stop the TPP
November 14, 2016 to December 16, 2016
The White House is planning to use the Lame Duck session of Congress after the election this November to pass legislation to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Our mission is to create the environment that makes this impossible. That's why we are starting now to plan the #NoLameDuck Uprising! Sign up now to be part of it and we'll stay in touch with you about what we need to do. There will be actions in Washington, DC and across the country.
The Lame Duck session takes place after the election and ends with the winter break in December. It is a time when some members of Congress have lost their seats but can still vote. The Lame Duck is often used to pass unpopular legislation. This year the Lame Duck runs from Nov 14 to 18 in DC, then members will be home for 10 days for Thanksgiving break and then they will be back in DC for the first three weeks of December, concluding on Dec. 16.
Tell Congress "Don't Duck Democracy!"
Help spread the word about the #NoLameDuck Uprising. We need thousands to join in!
Location: Washington, DC and everywhere
