Citizens United Overreach: New CAP Report Reveals Legal Risk in For-Profit Corporate Boards’ Political Spending

Join CAP for a virtual discussion on Citizens United overreach.

Citizens United gave corporations—but not for-profit corporate boards—the authority to spend in candidate elections. But those boards immediately started spending anyway, improperly handing U.S. citizens’ constitutional rights over to large shareholders and foreign nationals. A new Center for American Progress report shows how it could cost them.

Join CAP for a virtual discussion with The Hon. Shana M. Broussard, commissioner of the Federal Election Commission; Sarah Haan, Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University School of Law; and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), with introductory remarks from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
