John,
For the first time in U.S. history, the U.S. House has passed legislation to expose the owners of shell companies in the United States. These anonymous corporations are used by wealthy individuals and criminal enterprises ― including Russian oligarchs ― to launder money and dodge taxes in the U.S.
Now it’s the Senate’s turn!
Read Mark’s email below and then sign the petition to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell to vote on and pass the Corporate Transparency Act to hold the rich and powerful to account.
Thank you for taking action today.

"Hold a vote on the Corporate Transparency Act to stop the rich and powerful from using faceless shell companies to launder money and dodge taxes."

John,
For too long, the rich and powerful have been using anonymous corporations and our rigged system to launder money and dodge taxes. It’s likely the way Russian oligarchs have laundered money into the U.S. to buy expensive condos from The Trump Organization.
No more! The U.S. House just passed a bipartisan bill to end anonymous corporations in the U.S., pushing our country toward much more transparency and openness. But will Senate Leader Mitch McConnell allow a vote on a bill that actually holds the rich and powerful to account?
Sign the petition: Tell Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019 (H.R. 2513), which will stop faceless elites from using their anonymity to launder money and dodge taxes.
Whether it’s laundering money to dodge taxes or to hide a criminal enterprise, this bill is critical to unmasking secret shell companies and the individuals behind them. Experts consider it the single most important change Congress could make to better protect our financial system from abuse.
This is the first time in U.S. history that either chamber of Congress has passed legislation to expose the owners of shell companies. Now, it’s your turn, Mitch!
Join Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund in demanding Senate Leader Mitch McConnell hold a vote and pass the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019.
Together, we’re demanding a fair share tax system that benefits everyone, not just the wealthy elite.
Thank you
