Democracy For The People. Big Money Out. Modernize The Vote. Wealthy donors have always had an outsized influence in our democracy, but misguided jurisprudence, like the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, has opened the floodgates for mega donations and corporate spending in our elections. Spending on political races has skyrocketed GETTING PERSONAL WITH CHEMICALS We should be able to trust that the products we buy are safe — especially the ones our families use every day, directly on our bodies. However, we looked into common ingredients in popular personal care products, and found that when we use these products, like shampoo, baby wipes, deodorant, shaving gel, or perfume, we are often dosing our bodies with chemicals that can disrupt our hormones BAN BEE-KILLING PESTICIDES To restore bee populations to health and save our food supply, our national network is working to ban the sale of bee-killing pesticides for our homes, parks and gardens in 21 states around the country.CLAUDIA DEEG
