Seminar: "Break 'Em Up: Redistributing Economic Power to the People"
On December 15th at 2pm ET, join the American Economic Liberties Project and People’s Action for the kickoff of our new virtual event series “Break ‘Em Up! Redistributing Economic Power to the People” to learn why.
The “Break 'Em Up” series will bring together a diverse range of progressive voices to share information about the ways unchecked corporate power is hurting workers, small businesses, communities and our democracy. It will build on the momentum of the House Antitrust Subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into Big Tech, and galvanize the progressive movement around fighting monopoly power.
Economic Liberties and People’s Action’s first event will examine how concentrated corporate power hurts labor and workplace organizing efforts.
