Antitrust reform for small business
Lobbying

Encourage State-Level Reforms (State Legislation)

As a parallel, push states to use their antitrust laws or pass new ones.

Push states to strengthen and use their antitrust and unfair-competition tools while federal reform is contested. Focus on concrete legislative changes and proactive engagement with state enforcers that can block harmful deals and deter exclusionary conduct. State action can also set de facto national norms when large markets move first.

Why this works

Doesn’t rely on slow federal process, and states are labs of democracy. Some AGs (NY, CA, etc.) are very active and could be empowered by new state statutes giving them more bite.

Holding Big Tech accountable through policy and pressure

The Tech Oversight Project is a tech policy advocacy organization launched in 2022 to push for aggressive government action against Big Tech monopolies:.

The Tech Oversight Project uses campaign-style tactics — rapid response communications, opposition research, and media outreach — to counter Big Tech’s lobbying and rally support for reforms that protect consumers, privacy, and competition:.
