Corporate power plays an increasingly dominant role in our society and our politics. Help design WILPF’s response by joining our Corporations v Democracy Issue Committee. The relaunch organizing call is coming up on Tuesday, May 28. Join us on this important call to reorganize and develop a practical strategy in preparation for the 2020 elections.
