Confronting Corporate Power and Capital Concentration
The rules governing corporations, capital, and markets are strengthened and enforced, so that new entrants and new ideas have room to compete, and concentrated tech and financial power is reshaped in the public interest.
What this looks like
- Expanding state antitrust authority so regulators can act on concentration.
- Resourcing the agencies that enforce these rules.
- Advocating for access to public technology to support public interest innovation.
- Reforming tax structures to ensure a more equitable public finance system.
