Welcome to the homepage of TradeJustice New York Metro's chapter for the 12th Congressional district of New York, Our group works to stop the passage of free trade agreements that undermine democracy, offshore jobs, undermine health, safety, animal welfare, and environmental regulations, contribute to human rights abuses, replace family farms with industrial scale factory farms and genetically modified foods, prevent needed regulations on the banking industry, and limit internet freedom and access to lifesaving generic drugs by expanding corporate intellectual property rights to an absurd degree. Currently, we are focusing on stopping the passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12 country free trade agreement described as "NAFTA on Steroids."

Our Congressional Representative is Carolyn Maloney. As Congresswoman for the 12th District, Carolyn Maloney represents includes most of the East Side of Manhattan and Roosevelt Island and extends across the East River into the Boroughs of Queens (including Astoria, Long Island City, and parts of Woodside) and Brooklyn (including Greenpoint). You can view a map of the 12th Congressional district here We work to alert Representative Maloney's constituents to the threat posed by TPP and to encourage her to use her bully pulpit and influence among her Congressional colleagues to built resistance to a trade deal that will only advance the interests of the 1% - at the expense of the rest of us!
