John,

We are closer than ever before to a ban on Congressional stock trading and ownership.

Recently, a bipartisan group of House members released a framework for a ban on Congressional stock trading—and it has every principle that CREW has been calling for for months, including a total ban on ownership of stocks and similar financial instruments and the inclusion of spouses and dependent children in the ban.

That is a big deal, and a huge step forward. We sent a letter to the House calling on them to act swiftly and pass a bill that follows this framework—read it here.

It’s not just up to individual members of Congress though: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have the power to back a strong ban and bring it to a vote. That’s why we’re reiterating our call for Pelosi and Schumer to bring a stock ban to a vote ASAP—and you can join by signing on here.

We’ll be in touch soon with more details about how you can help get a strong stock ban across the finish line once and for all. We’re closer than we’ve ever been before, and it’s in part thanks to the thousands of people like you who have spoken up and demanded action.

Thanks for being in the fight,

The CREW Team
