The largest, supposedly "conservative," business lobbying org in DC has been taken over by the radical left...

They now use their power/influence to actively push a far-left, woke agenda.

It's time that someone told the truth about the @USChamber 🧵
The @USChamber was started in 1912, modeled after a vision for national commerce laid out by then Republican President William Howard Taft.

Taft was pro-business and believed that free markets, free enterprise and minimal regulation could drive economic growth. 

The Chamber was modeled after this vision.

@USChamber The modern @USChamber shares almost no resemblance to the vision laid out by Taft.

It no longer acts as voice for business, instead it acts as voice for the radical left — using its power to force businesses into compliance with far-left dictates.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
This erosion of values has been happening for quite some time, but the institutional rot became most evident over the last decade.

@USChamber has played a key role in pushing DEI, ESG and climate hysteria onto corporate America.

And we've got the receipts to prove it ⬇️

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
Let's start with @USChamber's DEI activism:

Since as early as 2016, the Chamber has been very vocal about their DEI activism... 

And, following the death of George Floyd and the "mostly peaceful" riots of 2020, they really kicked their activism into overdrive.

They've helped give out millons in openly discriminatory race-based grants, supported the infamous and failed "Equality Act,"  launched a DEI initiative called the "Equality of Opportunity Initative," hosted countless speeches and roundtables on DEI, and developed a myriad of resources on "The Business of Diversity."

They've stated that they believe it's both a moral and economic imperative for every business to focus on DEI — and they've encouraged companies to push for both "private and public sector solutions" to address the alleged "opportunity gap." 

They claim the "opportunity gap" is "driving inequality of opportunity for Black Americans and other people of color" and the only way to remedy this is for businesses to focus on finding "sustainable solutions" to gaps in 6 key areas "education, employment, entrepreneurship, criminal justice, health, and wealth."

It's no wonder corporate America has adopted DEI en masse, when the Chamber "represents" over 3 million businesses, many of which are dues-paying members.

They operate very similarly to the the UN-backed groups that we've seen crumble as of late (like GFANZ), and, though their commitment to action is largely unspoken, the end result couldn't be more clear: if you don’t comply with their ideological dictates, you will become the subject of their pressure campaigns and harassment by far-left activists.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
While on the subject of DEI, it's important to point out the @USChamber's ties to the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD).

LCLD is like the Chamber of Commerce, but specifically for law firms and in-house corporate legal departments. Their membership includes heads of some of the nation's largest law firms and a litany of corporate general counsels, spanning the Fortune 500.

They push the same woke agenda items and have been on the forefront of forcing discriminatory DEI programs into nearly every major American company.

In fact, Mark Roellig, who's featured in the video below, was both a Board Member of LCLD and an active member/speaker at Chamber events.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
Next, let's talk about @USChamber's ESG activism and their promotion of climate hysteria:

They make very clear where they stand, stating plainly: "Our climate is changing and humans are contributing to these changes. Inaction is simply not an option."

They also make clear that they believe corporate America plays a key role in "delivering climate solutions."

In a prominent blog post on their website, the action proposed for "delivering climate solutions" is "fostering a sustainable and inclusive energy future." 

What does this mean? The base claim is that the solution to climate change is a transition to Green New Deal-style policy prescriptions, BUT only if done in an "inclusive" way. To do this, it's proposed that energy companies must prioritize injecting DEI into all aspects of the energy industry. 

The ways recommended for injecting DEI into all aspects of the energy industry are increasing "supplier diversity," expanding diversity programs, hosting identity-based Employee Resources Groups, and partnering with the Urban League and NAACP for workforce development.

It's all nonsense.

They also brag about being regular attendees of the UN's Climate Change Conference of the Parties, better known as COP, where national leaders and business leaders pledge their allegiance to the climate cult and promise to take action to deliver on the climate cult's aims.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
If that wasn't enough to convince you of the @USChamber's institutional rot, allow me to introduce you to the Chamber's latest fight:

They've recently decided to begin attacking litigation financing — one of the most funamental tools in our fight against woke capitalism.

Litigation financing is ciritcal. It allows David to take on Goliath in the legal arena; giving everyday Americans, who dare to resist having radical policies forced down their throats, the support they need to challenge massive woke corporations.

The Chamber has aligned themselves with the massive woke corporations that want to undermine this critical tool, further consolidate their power, and increase their ability to crush the little guy.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
Now, I have to ask, does any of this sound conservative?

Does any of this sound like @USChamber is being a voice for what businesses want and need in Washington?

Does any of this appear to have anything to do with free markets, free enterprise, minimal regulation and driving economic growth?

The answer is obviously no.

consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/wok…
@USChamber The institutional rot inside of the @USChamber couldn't be more clear.

They no longer speak FOR businesses, they are the voice for the radical left TO businesses.

No self-respecting conservative should have anything to do with the Chamber of Commerce.

🚨 The @SierraClub — one of the left's favorite climate extremist groups — is ramping up its woke efforts with a new Acting Executive Director.

Meet activist Loren Blackford 🧵👇 Image
Blackford says that “clean energy” has been a passion for her since an early age.

Since then, she has been committed to the radical climate agenda, including bolstering the “clean energy transition” and, in her own words, trying to “save our democracy.” Image
In 2012, Blackford bragged about transitioning “as much of [the Sierra Club’s] portfolio as possible to asset managers” aligned with a radical climate agenda and ESG metrics.

She touts a major victory for the Sierra Club was convincing investors that coal was a “bad investment.” Image

🚨Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — one of the biggest proponents of the ESG agenda globally — is about to leave his fingerprints all over rural Arkansas.

Carney, who once ran Brookfield Corporation’s green energy division, still has millions tied up in the firm’s stock.

Now Brookfield is pushing a massive wind project in Arkansas — against the will of the people.👇
The developer behind the project? Scout Clean Energy.
Scout is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. — which is majority controlled by Brookfield Corporation.

That’s the same Brookfield Carney helped steer, with a specific focus on ESG and climate investment schemes.
financialpost.com/news/economy/s…
Local residents aren’t just unhappy — they voted to ban new commercial wind and solar projects altogether earlier this year.

But because Brookfield-backed Scout already inked contracts before the vote, they’re ramming this through anyway.

SCOOP: @StateStreet is letting an inexperienced radical progressive activist run their multi-trillion dollar voting machine.

Her background? Not finance.

Her agenda? Not subtle.

Meet Holly Fetter ⬇️ Image
Holly is Head of Asset Stewardship for the Americas at @StateStreet.

Translation: she tells companies how “woke” they need to be — or else State Street will vote against them.

This is ESG enforcement in action.
Holly landed the job basically right out of Harvard Business School, where she studied “reimagining capitalism” and said she was reminded of the “deep connections between capitalism and slavery.”

This isn’t a portfolio manager. It’s an activist with a proxy card.

Most people know Mark Carney as the guy who ran Canada’s and then England’s Central Bank.

Now, he’s Prime Minister of Canada...

But, what almost no one is talking about is what he did in between: he quietly built the most powerful climate finance cartel in the world.

🧵👇
From 2020 – 2024, Carney wasn't just giving speeches or sitting on boards. He founded and co-led the “Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero” (GFANZ).

It’s the global enforcement arm of the Net Zero agenda — a cartel of banks, insurers, and asset managers.
The goal of GFANZ?

Using private financial institutions to force both companies and entire countries into compliance with the Net Zero agenda.

No debate. No votes. Just top down pressure — using your bank, your pension, and your insurance policy to advance this agenda.

🚨 We've uncovered evidence that another major hospital system is performing harmful sex mutilation treatments on children, prioritizing DEI over patient care and pursuing a radical climate agenda.

Michigan-based @HenryFordHealth has some explaining to do 🧵 Image
Let's start with how @HenryFordHealth is targeting vulnerable children with radical gender ideology.

Henry Ford Health has ADMITTED that they are *currently offering* harmful, irreversible transgender treatment to kids.

They are one of the few health systems that openly touts that they provide care for “any transgender individual,” including children, and have healthcare providers with a specific LGBTQ+ designation, including doctors with a specialty in pediatrics and LGBTQ+ health.

One of those doctors, Dr. Maureen Connolly, is a pediatrician and LGBTQ+ specialist. She wrote an article promoting transgender treatment on kids in the Journal of Adolescent Health. She also encourages “gender exploration” stating in an article: “If your daughter says she feels like a boy inside, let her cut her hair, call her by a different name and switch up her wardrobe.”

Henry Ford Health also partners with the Ruth Ellis Center to provide services for LGBTQ+ youth. In 2022, Henry Ford healthcare providers administered transgender treatment on 429 young adults and saw 700 patients at Ruth Ellis facilities.

They have been repeatedly recognized for their work delivering LGBTQ+ healthcare to both adults and children, including by the Human Rights Campaign Healthcare Equality Index.

They also provide information on additional resources for LGBTQ+ youth including "Stand with Trans," which aims to empower youth so they can “transition to their authentic life.”

FordHealthExposed.comImage
Next, let's discuss how @HenryFordHealth has bragged about their commitment to DEI, calling it "the foundation" on which they stand.

Their stated objective is to have diversity, equity, and inclusion "woven into the fabric" of everything they do.

They've created a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) strategic plan with four pillars: “Anti-Racism and Social Justice Advocacy,” “Diverse Workforce and Inclusive Culture,” “Community Empowerment,” and “Healthcare Equity” aimed to “dismantle and unplan inequities and pursue justice.”

@DoctorWisdomMD, Senior Vice President of Community Health & Equity and Chief Wellness & Diversity Officer at Henry Ford Health, believes “Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are simply not enough. Diversity, equity, and inclusion alone can only mitigate the damage of the past. To prevent the mistakes of the past from burdening our communities in the future, our ultimate destination must be justice."

She also participated in a workshop called “Moving into the Community to Advance and Accelerate DEI and Justice,” where she discussed Henry Ford Health’s immersive health care equity program, and that health equity needs to be integrated into everyday business.

They also have their leadership go through trainings for “Unconscious Bias,” health care equity, and other DEI agenda items — and provide several Employee Resource Groups, including groups for African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Middle Easterners, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Is @ClevelandClinic the wokest hospital in America? A thread 🧵

They publicly & proudly:
- Perform child sex changes
- Prioritize race-based care
- Push trans propaganda on kids
- Inject DEI into everything they do
- Spend millions on climate activism

ClevelandClinicExposed.com
Let's start with @ClevelandClinic's embrace of radical gender ideology, that they especially target toward vulnerable children.

Cleveland Clinic has administered "transgender care" to hundreds of vulnerable children — these "treatments" include irreversible surgeries and prescribing hormone puberty blockers.

They have attempted to justify this harmful work by publishing countless "scholarly" articles, with claims such as: young children are not too young to understand or question gender; puberty blockers are appropriate; and hormone therapy has “a positive impact” on children struggling with body image.

They even lobbied against the SAFE Act in Ohio, which prohibited the performance of "transgender care" on minors. And, worse yet, even after the legislation was signed into law, they still continue to meet with kids *to this day* “to discuss their gender questions," likely in violation of state law.

But their work isn't limited to the city of Cleveland or the state of Ohio...

In late 2024, they opened a new facility in @RonDeSantis's Florida, designed exclusively for LGBTQ+ patients to provide “inclusive transgender care."

They also boasts about their top marks from the Human Rights Campaign Healthcare Equality Index — where they received a 100 rating and were designated as a “Leader” in LGBTQ+ health care.

ClevelandClinicExposed.comImage
Next, let's talk about @ClevelandClinic's openly discriminatory approach to "care" and how they inject DEI into "everything" that they do.

In 2024, they were sued by a law group for prioritizing certain patients over others based on skin color. The lawsuit alleged they knowingly and willingly violated federal anti-discrimination laws in the process of doing so.

They declare racism to be a “public health crisis” and established an Executive Diversity, Inclusion And Racial Equity Council “to examine and promote policies to eliminate racism, bias, and health disparities.”

They've also engaged in deliberate race-based hiring discrimination by specifically committing to “train, hire and promote one million Black Americans into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement” without offering a similar opportunity for job-seekers of other backgrounds.

In 2023, Jacqueline A. Robertson, Chief of Diversity and Inclusion at Cleveland Clinic, stated, "I don't believe that diversity and inclusion should ever be a standalone strategy. It has to be embedded in everything that we do. And so that's our processes, that's our metrics.”
