John,
The COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine have disrupted global supply chains. Everyone is struggling – except big corporations. They have taken advantage of global crises to hike prices on everything from apples to gasoline, all to pad their bottom lines and impress Wall Street investors!
People are struggling to make ends meet while corporations make record profits. This is unacceptable. It’s time to stop the price-gouging!
Representative Jamaal Bowman has introduced the Emergency Price Stabilization Act of 2022. This legislation targets the root causes of price-gouging,, creates strong mechanisms to investigate how and why prices are rising and provides relief to workers, renters, and consumers during price shocks.
Send a message today asking your representative to cosponsor the Emergency Price Stabilization Act.

The Emergency Price Stabilization Act will also:
* Monitor and analyze price changes related to goods and services, including food and energy, housing, health care, and transportation.
* Proactively investigate corporate profiteering by using subpoena power to open up and examine corporate books.
* Make recommendations to the President for appropriate, strategic controls and regulations.
* Engage and mobilize the public as part of the process of monitoring and regulating prices.
Food & Water Action is fighting every day to protect people from corporate greed, profiteering, and consumer exploitation. That’s why we’re working with our allies on Congressional action to stabilize prices and protect our communities. The Emergency Price Stabilization Act is a step toward that.
Corporations need to be reined in. It’s time to act. Send a message to your representative today and ask that they support the Emergency Price Stabilization Act.
