John,

Members of Congress are able to make huge profits from buying stocks that they know will perform well based on pending legislation and private briefings. Yet, Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t see a problem with that.

This is unacceptable. Members of Congress buying stocks is what allowed Republicans to use private COVID briefings to profit from stock purchases in February 2020, before the public even knew a pandemic was about to hit. Members of Congress buy stock in companies, including fossil fuel companies, as they consider legislation that will directly benefit those companies.

Stock trades will continue to fuel policies that profit big corporations AND Members of Congress, but NOT benefit the people.

John, can you help us fight to advocate for a stock trading ban in Congress and elect more Representatives who won’t use their position for profit? Donate $3 right now so we can fight back and change the status quo in the political establishment.

Justice Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke out when Speaker Pelosi rejected the stock trading ban. There’s growing outcry over each instance of a wealthy member of Congress, like Pelosi, dropping a lot of money on a company’s stocks that their corporate-friendly policies will help.

If we’re going to change Washington, and implement a ban on Members of Congress trading stocks, then we need to change who is in Congress. We’re doing that by working hard to protect our incumbent Justice Democrats and elect 6 new Justice Democrats this year. If you’re ready to upend the status quo and transform the Democratic Party, chip in $3 to Justice Democrats right now.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
