friend, What a year it’s been! It started out pretty rocky with the Koch-funded insurrection on the Capitol on January 6th, but our mission for 2021 remained steadfast and clear: Disrupt the Koch network. We honed that energy as our small and mighty team made big gains, and our grassroots organizers helped further our various campaigns. And did we mention we also released six new reports?! You can learn more about our work this past year, including inspiring campaign wins, and where we’re headed in 2022, during our second annual End-of-the-Year Convening, on Wednesday, December 15th at 7pm EST. |

In addition to reviewing all the highlights and accomplishments from this past year, we are hosting a panel discussion on the privatization of education and the overarching impact it has on our democracy. We’ve invited Professor Noliwe Rooks, author of the award winning book, Cutting School: Privatization, Segregation, and the End of Public Education, Donald Cohen, founder and executive director of In The Public Interest and co-author of The Privatization of Everything, and Charles Siler, a former Koch network lobbyist and current pro-public education consultant to join us in conversation as we envision what education can truly look like when focusing on the common good instead of corporate influence and control. You are not going to want to miss this powerful end of year call! Please join us in saying goodbye to 2021, and coming together collectively to continue this important work in the new year. In Solidarity, Jasmine Banks, Executive Director |

UnKoch My Campus is a project dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm. |
