American Family Voices

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Family Voices is an American political advocacy organization, founded in 2000, which describes itself as pursuing "civil rights, environmental, women’s rights, consumer advocacy and health care" causes.[1]

The organization does not disclose its funding sources, however, a 2016 investigation by the Center for Public Integrity reported that it received significant donations from "large unions, environmental interests and a major corporate retail lobbying group".[2] Among its initiatives is AirbnbWatch which declares its purpose as being "to bring attention to illegal hotel operations in residential areas".[3][4] That initiative is funded by the American Hotel and Lodging Association, a trade association representing the hotel industry.[3]
