Dear Friend,
Since he was elected, Trump has announced his intention to nominate people with deep-seated corporate ties to key positions in his administration.
People like Susie Wiles, who has worked as a long-time lobbyist for firms that represent tobacco, coal, and junk food corporations.1 Or like Elon Musk, a billionaire who owns one of the largest social media platforms and one of the biggest sources of disinformation and right-wing propaganda in the world.2 and 3
This further cements in place a government by and for the wealthy, where corporations have heavily influenced the levers of power in government -- despite the growing movement of people organizing to prevent it, including people like you, all our members, and allies. And in the face of all of this and more, direct corporate campaigning will be more pivotal than ever.
