About us
Monopoly power is the biggest cause of poverty, inequality, high cost of housing, medical care, food, etc. as well as shortages of job choices
.
Monopolies and cartels had gotten much worse over the last forty years, ever since the federal government had virtually stopped applying anti-monopoly policies in the early 1980s.
But in recent years, there has been the rise of a new anti-monopoly movement. That includes two new anti-monopoly institutes, and an annual Anti-Monopoly Summit.
We're seeking legislation and candidates who support the new anti-monopoly movement, including legislation to enable affordable housing, affordable healthcare, et.
A constitutional democracy can only be sustained if the economy is not dominated by monopolies and cartels, which then distort the political system.
.
(An historical note about anti-monopoly: the famous Monopoly Game originally had a second set of rules, for playing anti-monopoly. The creator of the game, Elizabeth Magie, was part of the anti-monopoly movement.)
Civil liberties are also needed (the Bill of Rights, freedom of religion, the rule of law, due process, separation of powers, etc.) This Meetup group is a project of the Democratic Freedom Caucus of Pennsylvania (DFC-PA), which is for Civil Liberties and is Anti-Monopoly.
We will be meeting by online video mostly, but some of us in south-central Pennsylvania (York-Harrisburg-Lancaster) might meet in person sometimes, and others might meet in person in other parts of the state. We're networking with others who address this issue, including seeking legislation and candidates for office.
.
We meet the second Wednesday evening of each month. The link will be sent that day to everyone who RSVPd. If you don't see the link in your inbox by about 6:00 pm, contact the organizer directly through this link: https://www.meetup.com/society-and-social-progress-pa/members/?op=leaders
