Member Spotlight
Donors are the engine that gives Corporate Accountability International the vitality and ability to wage and win lifesaving campaigns. And not surprisingly our supporters are an impressive lot. There is Bill Scheide who made Brown v. Board of Education possible... Betty Morningstar who is quietly transforming the lives of Eastern European immigrants... Bill Loesch who marched alongside Martin Luther King... and so many more. Read about these and other remarkable supporters here.

Betty Morningstar first came in contact with Corporate Accountability International (then Infact) in 1982 but has been working in public service since 1969. Read how Betty found her calling and the ways in which she supports social justice. |
November Spotlight:
Edie Allen
One day in 1993, Edie Allen's phone rang. It was an organizer from Corporate Accountability International (then INFACT), whose work on nuclear weapons she had been supporting since 1987. This time, the organizer was asking for her support on a new campaign to take down Big Tobacco. Allen joined the campaign that instant. And to this day she has remained one of Corporate Accountability International’s strongest supporters.
Rev. Dr. Bill Loesch
“When the young people in a community have that ‘light-bulb’ moment, when they realize that they can make a difference in the structure by being bold, it provides the motivation to keep going.”
Kathleen Ruff
Ruff had counted herself a supporter of Corporate Accountability since the Nestlé boycott. But when a staff organizer asked to stay at her home on a campaign trip ten years ago, Ruff realized how deeply the organization shared her commitment to social change from the ground up.
William and Judith Scheide
During the late 50s and early 60s, Judith spent much of her time outside her university, selling one dollar tickets to baked bean fundraisers or handing out buttons at shopping centers. Judith later found herself running local campaigns in and around Princeton, New Jersey. William had long been a collector of early printing and music, including the Gutenberg Bible, Emancipation Proclamation and Declaration of Independence. His father, and grandfather before him, had worked for Standard Oil. Both men turned their fortune first to collecting books, and then to libraries and schools. William and Judith have supported Corporate Accountability International “since the beginning.”
