Yesterday, after months of pressure and the signatures of nearly 115,000 people, Google announced it was ending its support for the American Legislative Exchange Council.

This is not just a victory for us, but for the millions of Americans whose lives are made more difficult by ALEC’s anti-environment, anti-education and anti-worker agenda.

Our voices are being heard – Google’s exit followed quickly on the heels of Microsoft’s departure from the group less than a month ago.

Now it’s time for Facebook to join them. Please, help us turn up the pressure on Facebook by telling them to leave ALEC – today!

Across the country, people are pushing back against backroom deals and pay-to-play politics. They know that ALEC and the crooked politicians they work with have no place in our state legislatures.

With your help, we’ve shone a light on ALEC’s greed and power grabs. That’s why more than 90 corporations and 400 state legislators across the country have pulled their support from ALEC in just the past few years.

So, take a moment to savor this great victory and then help keep this momentum going by signing our petition telling Facebook to say goodbye to ALEC.

Thanks for your great work,

Marisol

Could a Fukushima-scale nuclear disaster happen here?

If we raise an additional $200,000 this September, a UCS donor will give a $1 million grant to fund our Center for Science and Democracy.

Fracking companies hide hundreds of chemicals from public scrutiny—blasting them into our own backyards. We all have a right to know what may be threatening our families’ health and safety.
