LittleSis

The Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) – also known as LittleSis – is a nonprofit watchdog research group that investigates power and corruption at the intersection of business and government. We publish high-impact research; collaborate with journalists, academics, and activists who are investigating and challenging powerful individuals and institutions; and build and maintain our flagship research site, LittleSis.org (the opposite of “Big Brother”). LittleSis.org is a free, online wiki database of who-knows-who at the heights of business and government. This grant is supporting Map the Power, a recently-launched project to train and organize activist-researchers to investigate Trump’s backers and beneficiaries, so that activists and grassroots organizations are armed with the information they need to develop effective campaign strategies and win real victories.
