Description This anti-dark money political advertisement appeared in the Union Station stop of the D.C. Metro in April 2015 as part of a comic book-themed campaign sponsored by three good-government groups—AVAAZ, the Corporate Reform Coalition, and Public Citizen—aimed at pressuring Securities and Exchange Commission chairwoman Mary Jo White to rein in dark money.[1][2]

Source (WP:NFCC#4) "The ads and video, available at www.WhereIsMJW.com, are part of a push by the Corporate Reform Coalition to ensure that shareholders and voters know how much corporations spend to influence elections, and which races they fund. The ads were paid for by Avaaz, Public Citizen, Common Cause, U.S. PIRG, Greenpeace, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Communications Workers of America."[3]
Date of publication April 2015
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Dark money
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To graphically illustrate the concept of dark money, and the U.S. movement in opposition to it.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Because "dark money" is an abstract concept, it is difficult to illustrate. This image encapsulates an important aspect of the "dark money" phenomenon— opposition to non-disclosed political contributions. This ad is also the most widely recognized symbol of "dark money," having been publicly disseminated through an ad campaign on the Washington, D.C. subway system.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) It will be used only once, and used only here. Moreover, the image is a low-resolution graphic that is only one of at least six similar images that were part of the same ad campaign (See www.WhereIsMJW.com).
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Dissemination only serves to further the non-profit cause and purpose of the designer, to further communicate the concept.
