It's happening right before our eyes: huge corporations are buying influence in LA to skirt regulations and increase their own profits, at the expense of our safety.

Our elected officials are complicit. They're selling the city out from under us.

We don't have to stand for it.

Here's the thing: candidates don't have to accept conflicted money!

We're not taking any donations from corporations, or from anyone who might be trying to profit off access.

If we're going to get corporate $$ out of politics, it's up to us to condemn those who are taking it.
