Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

A continuing tour around the country to hear from grassroots groups about their efforts to reform the electoral system and specifically to change the way that campaigns are financed.

Today, we’re joined by Samantha Sanchez the director of the Money in Western Politics Project of the Western States Center based in Helena, Montana. The project is a watchdog group that focuses on campaign-finance issues in eight western states: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
