Welcome to consumer movement

Doesn’t it seem like every turn you make, big business is making
more and more money at the expense of you and me?
While we’re paying taxes, big corporations wiggle out of paying
their fair share. Or they’re destroying our environment so they can
make record profits.
Sadly, it’s a long list – and instead of being held accountable,
CEOs are getting richer by the second, while the rest of us
hope to make it to our next paycheque!
The world doesn’t have to be this way.
Because we have a secret: We own the corporations that are
causing all these problems. They rely on us to buy their products.
They count on us to buy their stock. They need us to work for
them.
Without us, these massive corporations have no
power.
That’s where we – SumOfUs – come in. By taking action this week,
you have joined a community of millions people from around
the world. People who have chosen to work together to
demand that corporations put people over profits.
SumOfUs members stand for governments that answer to citizens –
not corporations. We stand for the fair treatment for workers. And
we stand for the right of consumers to buy products that are
produced and marketed ethically, sustainable and transparently.
We fight tirelessly for business models that put people and the
planet first, instead of being driven by short-sighted greed. So
that communities have the right to manage and protect their own
environment and natural resources.
And we’re making a difference! Here are some of the things we’ve
done:
If you’re fed up with the power corporations have over
our lives too, and want to do something about it, you’ve found the
right home. We’re creating a massive people-powered
movement that holds corporations accountable for their actions.
Could you please take a moment to select
"Always display images from SumOfUs.org" at the top
of this email. We’ll be in touch each week with something
you can do to stand up for people over profit. Together we’ll build
campaigns and pressure major corporations – and win real victories
that improve real people’s lives.
Many of our members also support us with a regular monthly
donation. We don't accept any money from governments or corporations
– donations from our members mean we're able to keep winning the
battles that matter to all of us.
