Fight Corporate Consolidation

Monopolies have rewritten the rules to nickel and dime family farmers, ranchers, and other producers.

  • Four corporations control 60% of our coffee, cookies, and bread market.
  • Four corporations control 70% of our yogurt, beer, and soybean seeds. 
  • Four corporations control 80% of our meat industry, two of which aren't even American.

This is bad because:

We are not against big farms or ranches, or against family-owned companies owning farms. We are greatly concerned about the transnational corporations that have and continue to rewrite the rules to enlarge themselves at the expense of everyone else. 

We want a free market for agriculture. Not a monopoly market.

Monopolies are consuming America. They destroy small businesses, they price-gouge Americans, they rewrite our trade rules to ship our jobs overseas, they allow toxins to be in our food, they turn free markets into monopoly markets, and more. We broke up monopolies in the past. We must do it again.

Join the Movement

Most Texans want to be able to provide for themselves and their families, regardless of our color, creed, or hometown. Yet we have politicians who divide and distract people so that they can send further kickbacks to their megadonors, lobbyists, and the greedy few who rigged the rules against working people, both pricing-gouging us and causing 1 in 5 Texas kids to go hungry. When we come together to reject their scapegoating, we can create an economy that works for all Texans -- from the farm to the table, from the biggest cities to the smallest communities. Join us today.
