John,

Donald Trump just put the USA up for sale with his ‘meme coin’, a crypto-currency that’ll make him billions as more people buy it. Here’s why it’s bad: crypto transactions are anonymous, so anyone, including the world’s most dangerous individuals and organizations, can shadily deposit money right into Trump’s pockets in exchange for favors—geopolitical, corporate, and personal.

What sounds like a dystopian nightmare is the harsh reality of what Trump’s second term could look like if we don’t force the US Congress to take urgent action. And make no mistake, protecting democracy is a bipartisan issue that goes far beyond anyone’s stance on cryptocurrency.

This is Trump’s first couple weeks in office and we need to start resisting NOW. That’s why we need an immediate ban on cryptocurrency for elected officials and government workers. No secret wallets, no backdoor deals lost in the blockchain. We need governments that work for the people—not for the highest bidder.

Sign the petition today to demand the US Congress take urgent action to protect democracy.

As Trump’s former comms director put it, "Every favor is now on sale, right out in the open." If we don’t act now, this sets a precedent for corruption on a scale we’ve never seen before.

Without a strong response from civil society, Trump will know that no one is willing to resist his attacks on democracy and he’ll wreak havoc in the US and beyond. 

His oligarch friends are bracing for complete chaos, for as long as they can make a profit off it. But everyone else can’t afford to live 4 more years of Trump’s unchecked far right politics. Hundreds of millions will suffer if we don’t get together to take action now. Sign and share this petition:

Call on the US Congress to take urgent action by banning Trump’s crypto and protecting democracy.
