Economic Leverage
We Target the Money Trail Legally & Transparently
Timeline: 6–18 Months
Following the Money
Successful movements have shown that targeting financial interests creates real change. We'll do the same with government corruption, using lawful consumer, investment, and information tactics to expose and starve bad actors of financial oxygen.
Phase 2 transforms awareness into action. We use economic pressure points—legally and transparently—to show corporations and politicians that serving special interests over the people has consequences.
