People Power Is All We Need: SumofUs

Why do corporations believe they can get away with anything? Because they think nobody is watching. But we can change that. By building global action networks focused on increasing transparency and building citizen awareness we can make sure no organization is operating in the dark. And when citizens are aware, united, and empowered anything can change. Today we're joined by Angus, Laura, and Ildem of SumofUs, a global online campaigning platform and corporate watchdog. Listen for an inspiring conversation about direct examples of how action leads to change. Examples like the story of Máxima Acuña, a Peruvian farmer who is standing against a massive global mining company, and Sofia Gatica, who has built a powerful movement of victims of pesticide poisoning, and Frances Haugen, who blew the whistle on social media's urgent need to protect the health of its users. These stories and more prove that when people stand together things change.SUPPORT SumofUs and take action today: Learn more , donate, and get involved at https://www.sumofus.org/. CHALLENGE: Find an online action or advocacy platform you resonate with.
