In
a poignant and powerful farewell address, former
President Joe Biden issued a grave warning to the
American people: a dangerous concentration of
power is taking root in the United States.
Billionaires are
gaining more control over industries, politics, and the
flow of information. He pointed to the tech
moguls like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos,
who have amassed unprecedented wealth and influence.
Oligarchs'
power increasingly reaches into every corner of our
lives — from the information we consume on
social media to the way businesses operate and,
alarmingly, how political decisions are made.
This poses a huge threat to our democracy, our rights,
and the very idea of a fair and just society where
everyone has an equal shot at success..
The
consequences of allowing this unchecked power to grow
are dire. We've already witnessed the impact on
traditional media sources, with a free press
increasingly controlled by a small group of wealthy
individuals. Social media platforms are platforms for
misinformation, with little regard for the truth. And
it's all to benefit oligarchs' ongoing profits and
power.
Anti-trust
laws exist to protect society from precisely this kind
of exploitation. It's time to enforce them with boldness
and resolve. That means blocking harmful
mergers, breaking up monopolistic corporations, and
holding executives accountable for predatory
practices.
Sign
this petition to demand that our leaders prioritize the
interests of the people over the profits of the few. Help us urge U.S. regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission and
the Department of Justice, to defend democracy by
cracking down on corporate monopolies and restoring
balance!
