A bold experiment is under way in the US. Sick of the stranglehold of big money on Congress, the MayDay Political Action Committee (MayDay PAC) has crowdfunded millions of dollars to fight for electoral reform.
Playing the wealthy at their own game, it will use citizen-funds to support the election campaigns of those politicians who commit to challenging the corrupt rules that govern fundraising, which currently hand outsized clout to the extremely rich.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
