About the Author

Founded in 1977, INFACT is a non-partisan national organization whose purpose is to stop life-threatening abuses of transnational corporations and increase their accountability to people around the world. With 21 years of experience, INFACT is a key organization challenging "business as usual" in the political arena. The Hall of Shame Campaign began in 1996 by shining a spotlight on corporate influence and access in the US elections. To date, five corporations have been formally inducted through public events: Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco, Dow Chemical, Waste Management, and Columbia/HCA Healthcare. INFACT activist leaders are widely exposing the human toll of corporate power throughout our political system, and confronting Board members and other top decision makers of Hall of Shame corporations with the impact of their abusive practices on public health, the environment, and democracy.
