SPECIAL GUEST: LORI WALLACH, DIRECTOR PUBLIC CITIZEN GLOBAL TRADE WATCH Lori Wallach is an attorney and recognized authority on global trade. She has been interviewed on national news programs and testified countless times before Congress on the negative effects of free trade agreements Where are we now? - What's next for TPP? - What you can do - Q &A with Lori

ZAHARA HECKSCHER Zahara Heckscher is a contributing editor and columnist on volunteering abroad at Transitions Abroad. Her articles have been published in Community Jobs magazine and in the book Global Backlash: Citizen Initiatives for a Just World Economy. Heckscher resides in Washington, D.C., where she completed her M.A. in International Development at American University.

NOT A RANDOM PROTEST BUT A STRATEGIC ACTION Zahara Heckscher, Mom, wife, writer, educator, breast cancer patient… and now anti-TPP “death sentence clause” advocate. Zehara was arrested in Atlanta, protesting the TPP “Death Sentence Clause” during the concluding TPP ministerial. She also manages a webpage, #TPPkills.org

What Motivates Me: 7 Year Cancer Survivor/Cancer Thriver Thriving thanks to access to cancer medicines Old School Meds: 5FU chemo Biologics (Herceptin, Xgeva, Perjeta) Clinical trial emerging (Pablocyclib) Hormone therapy (Tamoxofen, Ais, Faslodex) Want everyone with cancer to be able to be a Cancer Thriver I know what it is like to lose a mother to cancer. Don’t want other kids to suffer this loss.

DEATH SENTENCE CLAUSE OF TPP  TPP Intellectual Property (IP) Section  Biologics (from living tissue, includes monoclonal anti-bodies)  Will lock in monopolies for 5-8 years  Prevents generics and bio-simulars  Effects are deadly  Mexico, Peru, Vietnam, further reduce access for most  Australia and New Zealand, health systems cannot afford  In US, may lock in high prices, and mostly hurt women with no insurance or high deductibles, also increase taxes  Other clauses (Non-Biologics) Also Life or Death Issue  Could say “Death Sentence Clauses”

LESSONS  “Individual” vs millions vs organization  Simplify  Power of Personal Story  Strategic Planning and Coordination  Flexibility  Media and Social Media  Props/Visuals People care and are touched by this issue

INVOLVE CANCER PATIENTS AND OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES  We have most to lose (and gain)  Solidarity, Self Interest, Legitimacy  Creative actions, Op Eds, Congressional Meetings  Engage local survivors and groups (but know that some take funds from Pharma)  Clear message: Not Anti-Research or Anti-Innovation  Need for clear fact sheets on complex issue  “NO TPP, NO DEATH SENTENCE CLAUSE”
