    It’s Up to Us to stop the privatization of government

    Congress passed a funding bill last week to avoid a government shutdown. The stop-gap spending bill funds all government programs at their current levels through December 20.

    Those levels were established in a combined $1.66 trillion package of two spending bills passed in March. The larger of those bills, totaling  $1.2 trillion, funded Defense, Homeland Security and State departments and other aspects of general government. More than 70% of the funding of that package was earmarked for the military. Meanwhile, non-military programs decreased.

    The stop-gap spending bill simply extends and locks in the current spending inequities across the federal government. 

    Who (or what) benefits from current federal spending? Increasingly it’s corporations as governments increasing “privatize” (or more accurately “corporatize”) what previously were public functions performed by public employees whose work was publicly transparent driven by public service vs. corporate profit.

  • AIPAC’s War on Democracy

    Joint Statement from Veterans For Peace and Move to Amend

           

         Veterans For Peace              Move to Amend

    Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has produced increasing calls for an immediate ceasefire, while a pro-Israel, U.S.-based group has waged an increasing war on democracy with little public scrutiny and no end in sight.

    The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most politically and electorally influential groups in this country. They have bombarded our “democratic” system spending over $100 million just in 2024 to punish opponents of Israeli policies, including the military assault on Gaza that’s claimed over 40,000 deaths and displaced 2.3 million people.

  • Call your Representative!

    Welcome to another week of #WeThePeopleWednesdays, where we unite our voices to advocate for H.J.R. 54, the We the People Amendment

    This initiative is all about mobilizing our grassroots movement to demand that our Representatives support a constitutional amendment that clarifies that corporations do not have constitutional rights and that money is not speech. Each Wednesday, we rally together to take action, share updates, and amplify our collective impact.

    THANK YOU to all our incredible volunteers who dedicate their time each week to call their Representatives! Your commitment to advocating for HJR 54 is vital to our movement. Every call you make helps amplify our message and brings us one step closer to our goal. Together, we’re making waves! 🌊

  • The Political Power of the Oil & Gas industry

    Oil and gas corporations are not only major contributors to the destruction of our climate and overall environment through the burning of carbon. They are also major contributors to the destruction of the limited amount of democracy in our country. 

    The reason for both is the same: corporate constitutional rights. 

    The granting of First Amendment "free speech rights" to corporations by the Supreme Court in the 1970s and expanded in the 2010 Citizens United ruling has legalized the ability of business corporations to contribute massive sums of funds to corrupt elections and public policies toward the extraction and burning of climate-destroying oil and gas over the mass conversion to renewable energy.

    What follows are the the current totals of the 2023-2024 election cycle (which runs through the end of this year).
