Our elected
representatives in Congress are supposed to serve the people, not their
personal financial interests.

Yet, all too often, we see that Members of Congress use information from
briefings and knowledge of pending federal legislation to enrich
themselves.

That’s why Pramila joined Senator Elizabeth Warren to introduce the
Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act to stop Members of
Congress from trading stocks, once and for all. It’s good policy, and it’s
simply the right thing to do.

a message to your representative demanding they take action to ban
individual stock trading for members of Congress and their families?

It’s hard to find a lot of common ground on any policy around Capitol Hill
these days. But recent polling suggests that Democrats, Republicans, and
Independents overwhelmingly agree that members of Congress should be
BANNED from trading stocks.

As long as members of Congress and their families are allowed to own and
trade individual stocks, it will be harder to make progress on Medicare
for All, making the wealthiest pay their fair share of taxes, bold
solutions to the climate crisis, a $15 federal minimum wage, and so much
more. Stock trades will only fuel policies that profit big corporations
AND Members of Congress, not the people.

[ [link removed] ]So, can
you send a message to your representative today? Lawmakers in the House
and Senate need to focus on legislating for the people — not the stock
market.

In solidarity,
