SUMMARY:Democracy Town Hall: How to End Corporate Cash in Elections & Make Citizens United Irrelevant
DESCRIPTION:Ever since the US Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010\, the flood gates have been officially open to massive corporate spending and dark money in elections. Dark money spending hit an all-time high of $1.9 billion in 2024\, and that record is expected to be broken this year. But now\, states have identified a means of fighting back. \nJoin us for a Democracy Town Hall featuring Tom Moore of the Center for American Progress as he describes how states can redefine corporate power so that corporations can no longer spend their money to influence elections. Register now through the link below – we hope to see you there!
