Back up Elizabeth Warren: Support transparency in trade negotiations

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is standing up to the Obama administration and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office–demanding they release trade documents used as part of negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

"I appreciate the willingness of the USTR to make various documents available for review by members of Congress, but I do not believe that is a substitute for more robust public transparency. If transparency would lead to widespread public opposition to a trade agreement, then that trade agreement should not be the policy of the United States."

- Sen. Elizabeth Warren


Sign the petition to back up Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s request that all documents being used to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership be released for review by the public.

To U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman:

Negotiating new trade deals should be done in full view of the public. We support Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s request that all trade documents being used in negotiations by the United States as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership be released–as you promised during your confirmation hearings.
