John —

Members of Congress – both Democrats and Republicans – are making a killing in the stock market.

How much trading makes you a “killing,” you ask? Try a BILLION DOLLARS in trades.

You read that right: many of the very same people making decisions that impact the value of their stocks are reaping profits. Does this seem like a massive conflict of interest? It is.

Thousands of people have joined us in calling on Congress to pass the ETHICS Act. Contact your Congressperson now.

There's a way to stop it. RepresentUs is teaming up with Unusual Whales to demand Congress to pass the ETHICS (Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks) Act. A bipartisan bill, the ETHICS Act would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent minors from owning or trading securities, commodities, or futures.

86% of Americans (including 88% of Democrats and 87% of Republicans) support a ban on individual stock trading by members of Congress.

This extraordinary support across party lines stems from the glaring truth that the people making decisions about subsidies, tax breaks, military interventions, environmental regulations, and countless others things that impact stock prices SHOULDN’T BE MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT.

Tell Congress to pass the ETHICS Act.

Together, we’ll increase transparency in Congress and help voters trust that the people they elected actually have their best interests at heart.
