Millions rely on generic medicines to treat diseases like malaria and HIV. If this agreement goes forward, many peoples' access to such drugs could be cut off, leaving those unable to afford name-brand medications to face death.
The treaty would set rules on "intellectual property" in a wide range of areas -- from genetically modified crops to online file-sharing to drug patents. But four fifths of the world's countries are excluded from the talks -- including India and China. The negotiating governments are trying to rush through an agreement before public outcry can become too loud to ignore -- but word is leaking out, and a tide of opposition is rising.
Our voices can tip this outrage over the edge. Public pressure has stopped unjust trade talks in previous years.
