legal analysis. policy design. STRATEGIC organizing. to resist AND dismantle concentrated corporate power.
Our mission is to radically redesign the legal architecture governing what a corporation is —and assign new purpose to its power.
The accumulation of unchecked corporate power is the central issue of our time.
More central than climate change, more than faltering democracy, more than deep and growing inequality. More central than affordability, housing, and healthcare.
That’s a big assertion, we know. But stay with us.
Imagine solving the problems we just listed. Now imagine solving them without first addressing the power corporations exert over markets, politics, governance, and culture.
Preserving the planet, enabling truly representative democracy, distributing resources so that everyone has enough — these are dangerous ideas if your power depends on exploitation, wielding disproportionate influence, and directing resources toward an exclusive subset of individuals. You’ll likely do all you can — and with such concentrated power, you can do a lot — to ensure these conditions remain.
It’s not a matter of good versus bad or rich versus poor; it’s about incentives gone mad.
And it’s about how impossible it can seem to dream up — and more impossible still to build — alternatives to the status quo when so much is invested in the status quo remaining… well, static.
Why are we focused on corporate power? Because not waging this fight makes it nearly impossible to effectively wage any other.
“The solution is about more than redistribution. It’s about more than interrupting monopoly, securing accountability, or mandating transparency. That’s necessary, but it’s not enough.
We’re here to ask the question: What is political and economic power for?”
