Our Mission
Support a robust and competitive technology ecosystem by opposing anti-competitive business practices and promoting the need for greater industry accountability.
Specifically, we oppose consolidation in the industry that undermines worker protections and employer accountability, threatens data privacy and security, encourages market concentration, and limits consumer choice.
