This chat we are joined by Brian Potts, co-founder of Goods Unite Us. Founded in 2017, Goods Unite Us recognizes the power of money in politics, and how our purchasing power can be used to bring that power back into the hands of the people.
As they note on their website:"The average consumer funds politicians & PACs about 3x more through their purchasing decisions as compared to their direct political contributions."
They have developed a powerful app to help people understand who owns the products they purchase, and what those purchases support politically.Check it out here.As they've grown, GUU has realized that specificity is a powerful tool.
They have recently developed IndexAlign, which tracks how precisely corporate political contributions all the way to politicians, and out to real world policy choices.With these tools, everyday citizens can begin to have more say over how their power as consumers is heard in politics every day. When combined with DSOT, it's a powerful economic doubly-whammy!As our government and corporate oligarchs work overtime to divide us, it's important to remember all that we have in common. So join us each Tuesday in growing solidarity, as we unite our economic power and begin to fightback against this oligarchic tyranny with every purchase! We hope that you enjoy this Zoom chat
