#OTD in 2020, we launched #StopSecretSpending, a web project that shows the importance of transparency & accountability in our elections. It also helps explain why we need to stop #DarkMoney.

Not familiar with dark money & its impact? Our new explainer video can catch you up:

Since the site went live last year, Americans have seen the most expensive #election cycle in history, with over $14.4 billion spent.

Over $1 billion of that was non-disclosed #DarkMoney.

83% of voters across partisan and demographic lines want to know who is making political contributions to organizations that spend to influence voters.

Unfortunately, #SecretSpending continues to rig our political system in favor of wealthy special interests.

To make matters worse, the @FEC, the agency that is supposed to protect the voices of everyday Americans by enforcing federal campaign finance laws, is NOT taking action. This is emboldening more bad actors and has resulted in an explosion of #SecretSpending.

#SecretSpending, political corruption, & inaction from the @FEC pose significant barriers to achieving the promise of democracy for us all.

Learn how we can hold candidates and government officials accountable regardless of political affiliation.
