Economic Security and Corporate Power

A Rigged System Hurting Families

Powerful corporations and special interests use their political connections to tilt policy in their favor—at the expense of working people. Tax loopholes, weakened protections, and rising costs aren’t accidents; they’re the result of a system designed to let the wealthy extract more from workers and families while avoiding accountability.

Who Washington Works For

Big corporations and their lobbyists have too much influence in Washington. Instead of standing with working families, Republican lawmakers are advancing policies that benefit themselves and their billionaire donors. Right now, Trump and his allies in Congress are pushing to extend massive tax giveaways for the wealthy—while trying to slash programs like Medicaid and food assistance that millions of families rely on.

The Real Cost of Corporate Power

This agenda doesn’t just pad the pockets of the wealthy. It drives up the costs of everyday essentials like health care, groceries, and education, while gutting oversight agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that are meant to protect people from corporate abuse. It’s a system where corporations profit, and families pay the price.

What It Should Look Like

An economy should work for everyone—not just the powerful few. That means policies that help working- and middle-class families make ends meet and build a secure future. Until then, we’ll continue exposing how lawmakers and their wealthy donors rig the rules, and fight for an economy that puts people first.

Taking on Corporate Greed in Washington

From fighting for tax fairness to defending consumer protections, our work calls out how Trump’s allies in Congress put their own financial gain ahead of the people they’re supposed to serve. Projects like Cash in Congress reveal who’s cashing in on Trump’s tax law—and who’s left footing the bill.
