the problem

Exposing corporate financial influences will help people make the connection between the products they buy, and the political activities of the companies behind the products. If people could see how their spending effects the outcome of bigger issues, they may be more conscious on how, where, and when they spend.

ideas

BuyPartisan app allows you to scan a product barcode to reveal campaign contributions made by the company, and in some cases also its senior management and board members
