This Independence Day, let us embrace the digital innovations that empower us, making it possible for every citizen to have a voice and a platform. By harnessing the power of digital technology, we can continue to uphold the values of freedom and independence that we hold dear. Happy Independence Day!

The Counter, an initiative by SOMO, supports those who need information about companies causing environmental damage, climate collapse, social injustices, and human rights abuses. Launched in 2023, this initiative provides pro bono corporate research support to activists, public interest journalists, and strategic litigators striving to hold companies accountable for social and environmental harm. Research support from The Counter enables activists to conduct thorough investigations into corporate and capital structures, ownership, operations, finances, and governance. This information can then be used in public interest investigations, media coverage, public campaigns, or court proceedings. The Counter serves as a crucial tool for activists, and helps reveal the hidden power structures within multinational companies, expose unfair corporate practices, and lay the groundwork for effective legal and advocacy campaigns. If you’d like to know more about The Counter and its work, or if you’d like to submit your own request for research, click here: https://lnkd.in/e7hcQXPf
