Scissor Sheldon
Scissor Sheldon is an online activism platform meant to highlight the disproportionately large role of billionaire donors in politics- and provide ordinary citizens with a platform to strike back. This site is based on the viral campaign that has been outraged by the fact that Sheldon Adelson spends colossal amounts of money on politics, and it makes people feel that they can express themselves, take petitions, and demand a political system that is not controlled by money.
Political Transparency
We unravel the mystery of the big money flow through elections, campaigns and lobbying networks- we make sense of where the money originates and how it is put to practical use.
Public Awareness Through Satire
The noise is broken through humor and creativity. We take acute commentary, visual narrative, and cultural encounters to reveal political inbalance and create a debate.
Community-Driven Activism
Be it in petitions, organized campaigns or social amplification, our community is a force of change because it brings people together who are not willing to remain silent.
