Demand Big Food and Soda disclose its global political activities and spending

Sign the petition: Demand Big Food and Soda disclose its global political activities and spending >>

Big Food and Soda have a huge sway over everything from what children eat at school to whether essential workers get paid sick leave – and more.

Massive corporations like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and PepsiCo spend untold millions on electing and lobbying public officials, and on science, charity, and trade groups to influence policy and the politics of food – often misleading us about how unhealthy their products are.

But here’s the thing: we don’t know how much these corporations are spending, because across vast regions around the world they don’t disclose that information. That’s why we’re calling on the world’s largest food and beverage corporations to open their books on their global political spending and activities.

These corporations should level with the shareholders and the public about their activities. Having to do so will make these corporations think twice about bankrolling public officials that are attacking voting rights, abortion rights, labor rights, public health, climate action, and more.
