anti tpp rally during localize this 2016 action camp by Joyce Marin

Backbone Campaign greeted President Obama in Seattle for a Democratic fundraiser with giant banners above his motorcade and life-like representations of the Washington State democratic delegation.

Simultaneously, people outrage by representatives not yet outright opposing the TPP packed the entrance to the Washington Convention Center where the fundraiser was being held and surrounding streets. A Star Wars themed Trans-Pacific Partnership Death Star was inflated and Rebel Alliance Starfighters standing up for sovereignty, human and workers rights, safe climate, affordable medicine and more greeted the democratic donor base as they entered.

We wanted there to be NO mistake - We the People consider a vote for the TPP a catastrophic, unforgivable BETRAYAL. An unaccountable vote planned for the post election Congressional session would add a cowardly insult to the injury of this disastrous corporate coup that shifts power away from governments to transnational corporations and the greedy who hide behind them. Washington State's Congressional delegation, especially Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Congressmembers Denny Heck, Rick Larson, Susan DelBene, Rick Larsen and Derek Kilmer need to know they will NOT be able to show their faces in public if they BETRAY the people they are supposed to serve.

Obama's visit occurred during Backbone Campaign's 8th annual Localize This! Action Camp. Thus, we jumped at the chance to put artful activism lessons into action. Enjoy pictures and video provided by Andrew Sigman, Joyce Marin, John P Duffy and Daniel Lee. #FLUSHTHETPP #TPPisBetrayal
