States and the Future of Antitrust: How State Policymakers Can Take On Monopolies and Rebuild Local Economies in 2025 and Beyond
Join the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) and the State Innovation Exchange (SiX), along with leading policymakers, experts, and advocates for a virtual event on how states can strengthen enforcement of existing antitrust laws and advance new legislative reforms. The past four years saw a major push by state and federal leaders to rein in outsized corporate power and safeguard consumers, workers, farmers, and small businesses from monopoly abuse.
Together, states and federal antitrust officials, in collaboration with communities harmed by monopoly power, have blocked a supermarket megamerger, challenged healthcare monopolies, taken action against corporate landlords accused of colluding to raise rents, and more. Even as a new federal administration creates uncertainty in the years ahead, states will remain at the forefront of combating corporate abuses and building thriving, equitable economies.
Hear from state officials and advocates working in diverse communities across the country as they share strategies for fostering fairer markets—and winning.
