billionaires caucus

As a billionaires' caucus of conservative business executives, pundits, and campaign operatives huddles at a California resort this weekend to plot their political strategies, Common Cause will host an open-to-the-public forum nearby to explore how everyday Americans can reclaim control of our democracy.

"Uncloaking the Kochs: The Billionaires' Caucus and its Threat to our Democracy," a panel discussion, will feature Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary and now chairman of Common Case's National Governing Board; Van Jones, Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress; Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California-Irvine; Lee Fang, an investigative journalist at the Center for American Progress; and DeAnn McEwen, co-President of the California Nurses Association.
