[ [link removed] ]Kamala Harris just announced a consequential economic plan that would
save people money at the grocery store. Sign the petition to support a
future Harris-Walz administration and a federal price gouging ban towards
big corporations!

Dear MoveOn member,

Kamala Harris just announced that a Harris-Walz administration would work
to set a federal price gouging ban for the grocery and the food industries
within its first 100 days in 2025.^1 THIS IS HUGE. 

[ [link removed] ]We've all seen prices go up for essential goods in grocery stores over
the past few years, and let's be very clear: That's because of corporate
greed, plain and simple.^2 Corporate execs have taken advantage of
working- and middle-class people, bumping up their own salaries and
raising money for their shareholders, while workers received nothing. It
doesn't help that Trump and his MAGA 2017 tax agenda have given tax cuts
to the ultrawealthy across the country, while contributing to the rise in
taxes and costs for the rest of us.^3 

But now, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz want to put an
end to those rising costs. Not only is this relevant for people today,
it's historic. [ [link removed] ]This would be the first-ever federal ban of price
gouging on groceries—making it clear to all that big corporations cannot
and will not exploit us any longer.^4 

Big corporations and greedy executives cannot and will not exploit us any
longer. Food is not a want, but a necessity for every living person. Sign
if you agree!

Corporate greed is soaring. It's become commonplace for these large
corporations to increase the annual salaries of people at the top and
skimp out when it comes to worker benefits and paying what they owe to the
government in federal taxes. Tesla is just one example of exorbitant
corporate greed in the past few years: From 2018-2022, Tesla raked in $4.4
billion in profits but paid no federal income taxes to contribute to
society.^5

That's unacceptable. 

The cost of groceries is top of mind for working-class folks who are
trying to get their necessities, and while food prices have gone down and
inflation is improving, we have to continue to fight for lower costs.^6
[ [link removed] ]And that means instituting a federal price gouging ban that tackles the
rising costs people are seeing in their day-to-day lives. While families
face climbing food prices over the years, corporations rake in more
profits, and workers see none of the benefits while doing all the labor.

The Biden-Harris administration has already started the critical and
necessary work to fight back against corporate greed and tax wealthy CEOs
and corporations what they owe, just like the rest of us.^7 But it's clear
this work needs to continue for working class and middle-class people to
be able to rectify the damage corporate greed has done.

This also means continuing to build and support the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC), to ensure the agency has the authority to pass rules and
regulations that will benefit all of us, including regulating mergers and
busting up corporate monopolies that drive up costs and make it harder for
small businesses to stay afloat.
