Here at CMD, we’ve been exposing the insidious right-wing and corporate pay-to-play activities of ALEC for more than a decade. Now, we’re asking for your help. Time and again, ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) has aligned itself with right-wing extremists and a legislative agenda that harms our democracy, our environment, and our rights. Whether it’s pushing legislation for the tobacco industry and gun manufacturers, promoting the American Petroleum Institute’s climate denial plan, demonizing sustainable and inclusive business practices, supporting voter suppression, or backing abortion bans, ALEC’s radical positions are out of line with the American public – and even with many of its corporate members. That’s why CMD and other environmental, social justice, and democracy groups are calling on corporations that claim to respect the environment, civil rights, reproductive freedom, and fair elections to quit ALEC. Please sign the petition to tell corporations to stop funding ALEC now! Thanks to pressure from people like you, more than 100 major corporations have dumped ALEC since we launched ALEC Exposed in 2011 — including Google, Coca-Cola, and AT&T — but many more keep funding its harmful operations. More than 60,000 people have already signed the petition, and your voice makes a difference! So, join the campaign to get big corporations to put their money where their values are and stop enabling ALEC’s extreme agenda! |
