This week, Groundwork Collaborative will be sending two experts to Congressional hearings to testify to members of the House and Senate about how to address one of the major culprits behind inflation: corporate profiteering. The testimonies follow the launch of a new site, which highlights the link between corporate profiteering and rising prices.
Today, April 5, 11 a.m. ET: Lindsay Owens, Ph.D., Groundwork’s Executive Director, will testify at a Senate Budget Committee hearing entitled: “Corporate Profits are Soaring as Prices Rise: Are Corporate Greed and Profiteering Fueling Inflation?” Owens will discuss Groundwork’s research and work shining a spotlight on megacorporations taking advantage of recent crises to pad their profits at the expense of families, workers, and small businesses.
