Our Vision

The Action Network Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded to address the imbalance of power between corporations and people. It works to restore balance to our economy and to create shared prosperity and a more just society.

When corporations use their power, influence, and resources to harm workers, consumers of their products, or the environment, the Action Network Fund uses new technology tools and a networked approach to build powerful campaigns to hold the corporation accountable for its actions.
