Corporate dominance is supported by government indifference, and acquiescence, and participation in budget politics, in corporate welfare subsidies, and in anti-union activities. It s a sad story, often met with cynicism and other forms of paralysis. Yet 95 percent of Americans still believe that U.S. corporations should have more than one purpose. A poll of few months ago showed that everyone still believes corporations owe something to their workers and to the communities in which they operate, and that corporations should sometimes sacrifice some profit for the sake of making things better for their workers and communities. I think it involves a creative combination of research, education, and action.
Research includes piercing the corporate veil.
This information is often hidden from public view, but there are many ways to obtain and distribute it. We need to learn what those are, so that we can educate ourselves and others. Education includes giving ourselves a broad perspective of the legal and political changes we as a people have gone through, and in recognizing our own inalienable economic and political rights. The Public Information Network offers workshops to support grassroots citizen and labor strategies, so that we can continue to regain and defend our rights to a clean environment, to a safe workplace, and to communities and jobs with justice.
