My name is Lacey Kohlmoos and I am the Sr. Field Organizer for Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch. Did you know that one of the worst threats to human rights and justice is a so-called free trade agreement that is being decided right now by trade negotiators and corporations behind closed doors, shutting out civil society, citizens, the press, and even Members of Congress!
