When corporations and lobbyists spend money in an election, they expect something in return of those they spend it for.
They spend that money because they want votes.
They want votes for insurance companies who profit while working families struggle to afford care.
They want votes to slowly weaken protections and to look the other way as corporations and modern-day barons consolidate more wealth and power than ever before.
And in the case of AIPAC, defense contractors, and their allies, they want votes for war and silence while American tax dollars go to the genocide and displacement of Palestinians and the invasion of Iran as the global economy descends into chaos.
Because somehow in Washington, D.C. — I will tell you firsthand — there is always money for conflict, war, and military escalation in the interest of the powerful.
And yet, there is never enough money for healthcare, housing, childcare, wages, infrastructure, bridges, water, air, power, electricity — none of it.
We don't have to live like this anymore.
We can make a new world, a better country, where we can fight for the dignity of all people.That means that we must choose to out-organize the oligarchy. We will and must do away with the power of big money.
Help us continue the fight with a grassroots contribution today.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
