Meet Your Overlords™
Meet Your Overlords™ is an ongoing investigative & educational series that reveals how billionaires, corporations, and shadow organizations manipulate our economy, democracy, and daily lives.
We follow the money. We expose the players. And we tell the truth about the systems designed to keep us compliant, exhausted, and afraid.
Power doesn’t operate in the shadows by accident. Meet Your Overlords reveals how wealth, politics, and oppression are deeply intertwined; and why reclaiming our future starts with brining the names into the light.
The ledger
It’s hard to be one person up against entire systems of violence and injustice.
But you are not powerless. Every choice we make is a thread in the fabric of culture. Where we spend our money, who we uplift, what we question… it all matters!
Being a rebel starts with awareness. It grows through community. And it becomes power when we act with intention.
Every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.
Collectively, we hold enormous power through our wallets, and corporations know it. That’s why they spend millions influencing policies, and public opinion.
But when we organize our spending around values, not convenience, we begin to shift power. We created The Ledger to help us spend with intention, and to make it easier to support companies who walk their talk; and boycott companies that fund hate, exploit workers, or harm our communities.
what we evaluated
We looked beyond brand image and marketing to assess companies across seven key areas of social and political impact:
| Category | What it Means |
|---|---|
| Women’s Rights | Support for reproductive rights, equal pay, and gender equity policies |
| LGBTQ+ Rights | Corporate inclusion, trans support, anti-discrimination efforts |
| Dark Money / Political | Donations to PACs, lobbying against rights, hidden political influence |
| Public / Environmental | Impact on mental/physical health, climate policies, sustainability |
| Workers’ Rights / DEI | Fair pay, union protections, and real commitment to diversity |
| Racial / Indigenous Justice | Support for BIPOC communities, anti-racist action, land justice |
| Immigration / Incarceration | Ties to ICE, private prisons, or exploitation of immigrant labor |
