Power to the people: not corporations

Corporate power is out of control. The current systems are failing the planet. Government needs to regain control of big business to give rights for people and rules for big business.

How can this be done?

  • Persuade governments to make new rules to control companies.

  • Expose corporate lobbying relationships.

  • Give affected communities a voice to tell their stories of corporate abuse.

92% of people think that the Government should protect the environment - even when it conflicts with the interests of corporations.
