New movement to Confront Corporate Power

A new and exciting campaign is being launched this week across the country.

It is no secret that the largest corporations in the country - the Wells Fargos, the Wal-Marts, and the Verizons - are undermining our democracy, poisoning our environment and widening the gap between rich and poor.

The question is, are you ready to do something more to confront corporate power? Something big. Something that will take all of us. Iowa CCI is joining with thousands of workers, retirees, families fighting foreclosure, the unemployed, students, immigrants and environmentalists to confront abusive corporate power head on.

This is an unprecedented group of national organizing networks coming together to demand corporate accountability at shareholder meetings this spring.

Our demands are precise and simple: corporations must pay their fair share of taxes, treat workers fairly, provide principal reduction to protect homeowners, pledge to keep money out of the election, and shift investments away from abusive private prisons and fossil fuels and into job creation and renewable energy.

Will you pledge to be a part of building this movement of and for the 99 percent?

This week is just the beginning. We have the rare opportunity to create a powerful shift in our country. It's a "go big or go home" moment, and I say let's go big together. There is a critical role for you to play in this movement to take our country back, whether you are at home, in the streets or in the boardroom. You are invited. You are needed.

Help us make sure that corrupt CEOs and Boards of Directors wake up every morning thinking about the 99%. Join us in the movement to confront corporate power.
