Extension summary

Ethiq’s Chrome Extension empowers you to easily see the financial connections between corporations and politicians. The goal of this extension is to deliver objective, non-partisan and actionable information on the relationships between our representatives and corporations involved in the US political process.

Ethiq has really helped me understand how companies are involved in the political process. It lets me easily see how politicians are funded by corporations that I both shop at and invest in. It's a super simple tool that is powerful and informative at the same time.

Ethiq has proved itself to be a super useful tool for allowing me to see the connections between big business and government. It's an unobtrusive way to view and understand these connections while navigating the internet!

This extension takes something (money in politics) that is really complicated and simplifies it in a very useful way. It sheds light on the corporate money trail from an unbiased perspective and allows me to make more informed personal choices about how I spend my money. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel more empowered about what they can do as an individual to effect change in today's political environment.
