MECEP Policy Insights Conference: Challenging Corporate Power

MECEP’s semiannual Policy Insights Conference brings people together to tackle the big policy issues facing Maine workers, families, communities, and economy. This year's conference takes a deep dive into corporate consolidation and power.

CART — or real-time live captioning — will be available for the duration of this conference.

Corporate consolidation and the building of monopolies have hurt workers and communities, and has played a role in increasing inflation in recent years. At the same time, taking advantage of tax loopholes, many corporations rake in record profits, keeping prices high while refusing to contribute what they owe to the schools, roads, and community services all of us rely on. Building power for workers, tackling corporate consolidation, and closing loopholes will provide resources to help workers, families, and small businesses thrive; build a stronger, more inclusive economy that works for all Mainers; and uphold democracy by preventing political power from being stacked in favor of those with wealth.
