Friends of LittleSis,
There are now more than 3,000 billionaires worldwide according to [Forbes’ 2025 world billionaires list]([link removed]) released earlier this month. Of those, 902 live in the US, where they use their immense power over our lives and our democracy to rig the rules in their favor and enrich themselves.
While their wealth keeps increasing, so does our cost of living. Ranked 25th, [Jeff Yass’]([link removed]) net worth increased 125% in one year. Across the country organizers are launching campaigns to challenge billionaire influence and make the ultra-rich pay their fair share to contribute to society; such as the [#AllEyeOnYass]([link removed]) campaign led by a coalition of diverse Pennsylvania based organizations.
Earlier this month we launched our [Meet the Rich]([link removed]) series where we’ll dive into their corporate connections and their impact on our climate, politics and labor rights. [Follow us for more]([link removed]).

Can’t wait till May 15th to hear us talk about power research? In this episode of the Practical Radicals podcast our director of tech and training Munira Lokhandwala spoke to Stephanie Luce about the importance of studying our opponent's networks to build stronger campaigns.
> "Power research begins with three questions: who governs, who benefits, and who wins... Most inspiringly, power research can help us find ways that campaigns and movements are connected through a shared overdog and help us find strategic targets and points of leverage.” - Munira Lokhandwala
