Starting Points

Corporate Purpose Project empowers citizens to create a sustainable, equitable future grounded in democratic values.

These are a few starting points towards these aims:

#1: Rising Above Polarizing Economic Debates

Problem

Americans have been polarized by manufactured divisions from corporate and partisan interests, hindering unified solutions.

Solution

A citizen-empowered economy meets everyday needs and fosters future care, making these discussions practical rather than political.

#2: Valuing the Health of Living Systems

Problem

Our economic culture prioritizes endless wealth accumulation over the long-term health of our civilization, resulting in crises across personal, social, and ecological well-being.

Solution

Our bodies, communities, and environments are all living systems whose health needs to be prioritized over extractive enterprising.

#3: Reining in the Forces of Crony Capitalism

Problem

Shareholder corporations are compelled to maximize profits, often at democracy’s expense, through lobbying, Super PACs, and self-serving rhetoric.

Solution

The Constitution begins with ‘We the People’—not ‘We the Corporations.’

Embracing this, American citizens must reclaim their democratic power and hold corporations accountable.
