Our annual Corporate Hall of Shame exposes corporations for their abusive practices worldwide. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve challenged corporations that prioritize profits over people, the planet, and basic human rights.
Making a gift today will help us continue to expose these corporations.
One of the nominees this year is GEO Group, which profits from the incarceration and detention of people from Black, Brown, and immigrant communities. Through its vast network of private prisons and immigrant detention centers, GEO has continuously prioritized profits over human dignity -- often at a horrifying cost. Numerous reports and lawsuits have been brought against GEO for allegedly subjecting people in its custody to dangerous and inhumane conditions, from unsafe food and unavailability of water, to prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals at its Adelanto facility in California.
Despite this track record, GEO continues to rake in millions in taxpayer-funded contracts, in large part thanks to its ties to the Trump regime. GEO Group was the first corporation to max out its contributions to Trump’s campaign and poured over $1 million to Trump re-election efforts. In return, it benefits handsomely from cruel immigration policies and mass incarceration strategies undertaken by the regime. The corporation has already secured a number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracts or commitments for it's private detention centers worth tens of millions of dollars each year, and is expecting more to come, with one expert calling this moment a "gold rush" for the industry.
This kind of hypocrisy is exactly why we organize. And it’s why we need your support. Make a gift today and be part of challenging some of the most powerful corporations in the world.
With your support, we will continue to research and expose transnational corporations while hatching strategic plans to take action alongside our partners and members like you to demand an end to their exploitive behaviors.
We know what it takes to challenge corporate power. We’ve been waging, and winning, campaigns for over 45 years. But we can’t do it without you. Power this work with a gift today.
Together, we can create a world where people and the planet are put first, and corporations are held accountable for the harm they cause.
