The California Business Roundtable is the lobbying arm of the largest and biggest corporations in California. They are constantly trying to use their wealth to change the rules to make it harder to tax the rich. They work to defund community resources and put working class communities of color at risk. 

Big oil and gas corporations are destroying California and our planet. Pollution from oil refineries destabilizes our global climate and intensifies extreme weather. The communities with the fewest material resources to prepare for and recover from environmental disasters are the first and worst hit. 

Corporations have been buying up properties displacing people in California for a long time. Corporate Real Estate’s lobbying and influence of greedy politicians has led to higher rents, more homelessness, and less affordable housing across the state. They have made it really difficult to live in California.

Because Big Retail corporations are only interested in protecting their property, corporate donors are funneling millions of dollars into more aggressive policing. Without any public oversight, police are able to buy specialized surveillance technology and high-tech weapons that are then used against our communities.
