Friends of LittleSis, 

There are now more than 3,000 billionaires worldwide according to Forbes’ 2025 world billionaires list 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’ 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 campaign led by a coalition of diverse Pennsylvania based organizations. 

Earlier this month we launched our Meet the Rich series where we’ll dive into their corporate connections and their impact on our climate, politics and labor rights. Follow us for more. 

Research Tools for Organizers 2025

On May 15th we're launching the second annual Research Tools for Organizers training series, join us!

Come level up your strategic toolkit and bring a new perspective to your campaigns by incorporating practical research techniques and a corporate power analysis into your campaign development. 

Our first training will explore:

• how to identify key networks of corporate power that uphold and profit from systemic injustices
• how research into these networks can be used to challenge their power
• and how LittleSis can help researchers bring together information from free public sources to inform campaign strategy and tactics

Practical Radicals Podcast: Learning from Opponents with Munira Lokhandwala 

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
