TTIP - 38 degrees petition

The US President will be meeting David Cameron today and they’re sure to discuss TTIP. [2] The deal reads like a wish list for big corporations. It could lower the quality of our food, stop us removing private companies from our NHS and allow big businesses to sue our government if they don’t like our laws. [3]

Obama doesn’t have long left as President, so he’ll be thinking about leaving a good legacy. Hopefully our letter will have caught his eye over breakfast and helped him realise just how toxic TTIP would be to his legacy. If he delays or stops negotiations, it would be a chunky spanner in the works for getting TTIP passed.

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how each of us, sitting on our own at home, can be heard by people in power. But it’s moments like these, when we bend the ear of the US President, that remind us just how powerful we can be when we pool our resources.

38 Degrees only works because hundreds of thousands of us come together on the issues we all care about to bring about real change. Thank you so much for donating to put the letter in the papers.

Thousands of 38 Degrees members, along with other campaigners, have brought this dodgy trade deal out of the shadows. [4] And together, we’ve put roadblocks in front of this awful deal every step of the way. [5] TTIP threatens so much of what’s most precious: our NHS, our democracy, our public services. Let’s keep working together to protect them.
