The common sense reforms advocated by the Taking Back Our Power will:
Limit the impact of large campaign contributions from contractors charged with serving the public, stopping state contractors and monopoly corporations that deliver crucial public services like healthcare and electricity from buying their way out of providing quality services that Michiganders deserve.
Address and mitigate the undue influence of corporations in the delivery of public services in Michigan. Restricting political contributions from government contractors and monopoly corporations will ensure fair and unbiased decision-making.
Allow a more democratic system that prioritizes the needs and concerns of everyday people.
Promote economic equality, ensuring that public contracting decisions are not unduly swayed by quid pro quo and the interests of the privileged few.
Ensure that politicians are accountable to the public rather than being beholden to contractors and monopoly corporations.
Protect marginalized and vulnerable communities in Michigan from being overlooked and sidelined in political decision-making processes, promoting quality public services and creating a more equitable society.
Contribute to the pursuit of social justice, dismantling barriers that prevent marginalized communities from having an equal voice in shaping policies that impact their lives.
