To help Americans break up with Corporate America by connecting like-minded small businesses with progressive voices who refuse to be bought by dark money and hidden agendas.
Americans are tired of Corporate America's rigged game. But the problem goes deeper than just big corporations controlling our economy — they're also controlling the voices we hear and trust.
Across the political spectrum, media voices are being compromised by hidden funding sources. When content creators depend on dark money or corporate interests, they lose their independence and authenticity. Here's what we mean:
In 2024, the DOJ revealed that Russian operatives funneled $10 million through Tenet Media to pay Tim Pool and other right-wing influencers to spread pro-Russian content. These creators were unknowingly being paid by foreign actors to manipulate American political discourse.
When funding sources are hidden, even popular voices can become tools of foreign influence.
In 2025, reports emerged about the Chorus Creator Incubator Program, funded by the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which paid progressive influencers substantial amounts with restrictive non-disclosure agreements and content oversight requirements.
Even progressive voices can be compromised when they depend on dark money with hidden strings attached.
The Pattern: When media voices depend on corporate interests or dark money, they lose their independence and authenticity — regardless of their political leanings.
ClearLinks exists to create a different model entirely. Instead of progressive voices depending on big corporations or dark money organizations, we connect them directly with small businesses that share their values.
This creates a sustainable business model where progressive content creators can thrive without compromising their integrity, while small businesses get authentic partnerships with voices their customers actually trust.
We envision a world where Americans don't have to choose between authentic voices and reliable businesses. A world where your morning coffee, your evening news, and your weekend shopping all come from people who share your values — and where those relationships are built on transparency, not manipulation.
ClearLinks isn't just a business directory. It's a movement to reclaim authenticity in a world dominated by corporate interests and hidden agendas.
The small businesses and voices on ClearLinks are united by shared progressive values: social justice, climate action, economic fairness, reproductive freedom, and democracy for all.
