[[link removed]]Building Local Power to Confront Corporate Dominance: Lessons from State and City Leaders
Tuesday, November 9, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET
Join He re [[link removed]]Across the country, a new generation of state and local policymakers are responding to the local threat of dominant corporations, which harm local businesses, take advantage of workers, extract resources and impede democratic accountability.
In the past year alone, state enforcers filed antitrust suits against Google, Facebook, and Amazon; communities nationwide passed new laws to protect local businesses from predatory delivery app platforms like Uber and GrubHub; and New York began to consider the most important update to state antitrust law in a generation. Several states, cities, and local partners will be launching similar efforts in the coming months.
On Nov ember 9 at 11:00 a.m. ET, join the American Economic Liberties Project, New York State Senator Michael Gianaris, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, and other state and local leaders to discuss the fight to challenge corporate power at the state and local level and how community members can ensure their local economies work for people, not for dominant corporations.
