Today, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), publishers of the award-winning ALECexposed.org, launched OutsourcingAmericaExposed.org, a web resource devoted to helping taxpayers identify the corporations seeking to privatize public services in their communities: including their schools, roads, prisons, drinking water, court systems, and more.
Once a week for the next several weeks, CMD will unveil corporate profiles of America’s most notorious corporations that are quietly working with state and local lawmakers to take over public services with little accountability, along with in-depth examinations of the CEOs personally profiting from this corporate coup. This week CMD puts the spotlight on Sodexo, the French multinational supplying food to school kids, soldiers, universities, public hospitals, and other governmental entities.
Resources include:
1) Main website which will hold profiles of 12 companies in the coming weeks: OutsourcingAmerica.org
