We are living in an age of corporate authoritarianism.
Research into the relationships between powerful people, corporations, and institutions – aka “power research” – is essential if we want to know who we’re really up against in our fights for justice.
This form of research helps us demystify the corporate playbook, find strategic targets and points of leverage, identify campaignable opportunities, reshape narratives to better inform the public, and find new ways that campaigns and movements are interconnected. In short, it not only helps us understand who we’re up against, it helps us see who is on our side and how to bring others into our work.
