How did corporations gain so much influence in global affairs? Distribution of vaccines, control of the internet, the allocation of food and aid to those in need... these shouldn't be matters for companies to decide. Join us tomorrow to mobilize for a new multilateralism!

Looking for powerful new future strategies for the protection of workers worldwide? Come listen to Nasir Mansoor (National Trade Union Federation Pakistan), Ineke Zeldenrust (Clean Clothes Campaign) w/others at ECCHR's conference on Thurs. I'll chime in with tart offerings too.

First time I have ever been on a #bizhumanrights panel where everyone focused on dug into unpacking why challenging the corporate form is a human rights issue and explored why we need to transfer power from corporations to workers/communities. Well done @MchlBdr Clean Clothes Campaign!

Sex workers, immigrants, and people of color (including Asian-Americans) are some of the most vulnerable communities in the US. Human rights and worker rights are not truly upheld until these communities are protected too.

By deferring to #BigPharma's priorities, #COVAX is doing nothing to challenge global patent laws that stifle poor countries from rapidly boosting the global vaccine supply. Read our piece 👇 #VaccineApartheid #RethinkMSIs bit.ly/2OHJYym

There has been much fanfare re:Biden supporting #COVAX as a way to get vaccines to the Global South. But COVAX actually keeps vaccine supply control with big pharma, rather than supporting the effort for a free #PeoplesVaccine. Great insight from @MilapNPatel and Teddy.

Curious why there has been so little coverage about the role of #BigPharma in the "global initiative" to roll out the vaccine to poor countries? Too complex to understand? We've all become acclimated to corporations having influence over public health/schools/elections/issues?

There's momentum in the cooperative space. Coops are resilient & impact investors are noticing. Read this piece by Lawrence Lanahan #BeyondCorporations bloom.bg/3m8Ve30

I feel so strongly about this -- why don't we question of the morality of profit? (and thanks No Sweat for a great panel today that surfaced this under-asked Q!)

What are "socially responsible" investors if not those who hold corporate supporters of violence accountable. That means weapons contractors & other corporations that are fueling Israel's apartheid against Palestinians and cruel bombardment of Gaza. #BDS #SaveSheikhJarrahh

The reception for The Drivers Cooperative shows there's an appetite for a different business model, one that puts workers in the driver's seat... literally in this case ;)

Exciting news... MSI Integrity's last project exposing the failure of corporate accreditation schemes to protect workers was a game changer, now they are turning their attention to business models that put power in the hands of the workers and communities.
