The aim of Knowmore.org is to raise awareness of corporate abuse, and to serve as a catalyst for direct action against corporate power.

Ethical Consumerism is an important movement toward corporate reform, through which individuals recognize their own role in systems of oppression, and take personal steps toward resistance and  positive change.

However, the problem of unchecked corporate power is systemic and goes far beyond the scope of any single boycot or campaign.

[edit] Criticism

• China's Shipping Company Makes the Wrong Kind of Splash: "Officials of Long Beach, Calif., were stunned to find themselves dragged into the Donorgate scandal. Earlier this year, the town's port authority was negotiating with China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co. (Cosco), a Chinese state-owned firm that wants to lease and operate a container facility on the site of a shuttered U.S. Navy yard. A judge was delaying the deal because of preservationists' protests over the possible destruction of historic buildings on the site. But then came the shocker: media reports that alleged possible connections between Cosco and Democratic Party officials. The implication was that the Democrats were helping Cosco in Long Beach as part of a payback." [2]

• Governor Signs Bills in Response to COSCO Busan Oil Spill: "Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today signed into law legislation in response to the Cosco Busan container ship that hit the Bay Bridge in November 2007 and spilled 53,000 gallons of oil into the San Francisco Bay."
