Carly and Adrián tell us how they got involved with ILPS Seattle-Tacoma before talking about why the US and big corporations are so invested in APEC, and why frontline communities need to stand up against APEC and the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) to protect workers, women, migrants, and the environment.
