Dear Friends,
This last year has been truly harrowing for all Americans. The Covid-19 crisis has bluntly demonstrated the dangers of monopoly through the shortages of PPE and vital drugs. The pandemic also enabled monopolists like Amazon and Tysons to grow even more threatening. More terrifying yet was the role Google and Facebook played in further disrupting America’s political system.
Today is also a time of hope. The Cicilline Committee in Congress has mapped a path towards making the digital economy safe for our democracy; and the states attorneys general forced the Justice Department to file a powerful antitrust case against Google. In both instances, Open Markets helped to light the way.
In recent days, our team has also pioneered efforts to ensure the Biden Administration truly stands up to monopoly, to sketch out a new vision for cooperation among democracies, to design health care and food systems that actually work, and to breaking the powers that drive our climate crisis.
The year ahead will be hard, but at Open Markets we see this as a moment of true opportunity to drive the real structural change that will empower us to create a more just, fair, and inclusive America. To do that, we need your support. This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to donate to Open Markets and help ensure we can make the most of this opportunity to create change.
With deep gratitude and solidarity,
The Open Markets Team
