They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.
AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.
