Typically\, the only gr oups involved in negotiations are the US Trade Representative\, corporat e lobbyists\, trade advisors\, and representatives from the various coun tries involved in the deal. \;\n \;\nWell\, there's a new trade de al currently in work\, and here's an early opportunity to learn about it and how it might affect you! \;\n \;\nThe deal is called the Indo -Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF)\, and one of it's pillars addresses c ross-border data flows and the digital economy. Since several of the cou ntries that will be a party to this agreement do not have strong human r ights protections\, advocates at the Trade Justice Education Fund (TJEF) are concerned that lower standards set at the international level will have a negative impact on US laws. \;\n \;\nJoin us this month whe n Yimei Shao\, PNW Regional Organizer for TJEF\, will talk about the IPE F international trade deal and how it could impact consumer data privacy \, workplace surveillance\, and other issues that intersect with labor a nd technology. \;\n \;\nYou can read more about deal in the US Tr ade Rep's fact sheet: \;\nhttps://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/pr ess-office/press-releases/2022/may/fact-sheet-asia-president-biden-and-d ozen-indo-pacific-partners-launch-indo-pacific-economic \;\n \;\nC ome learn about this trade deal and how you can make your voice heard!&# 13\;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n& #13\;\nYimei Shao (they/them) is the PNW Regional Organizer for the Trad e Justice Education Fund (TJEF)\, and also serves as the Chair of the Gl obal Justice Committee at Portland Jobs with Justice (PDX JWJ).
