Campaign finance reform – the single most important campaign

Speakers: Mark McLeod, Sustainable Business Alliance of Oakland/Berkeley; State Senator Loni Hancock; Moderator: Winston Burton, Economic Development Director, Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS)

Over the last third of a century, wealth has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of the 1% of the population that is wealthiest. Well over 40% of the nation’s resources are controlled by that top 1% and the companies they control. Not surprisingly, the 1% of the population that is wealthiest is also the 1% of the population that has political power proportionate to its wealth. This session explores several questions in order to shed light on these disturbing trends as well as discuss strategies to overcome them.
