John – BNC Representative Katie Porter had yet another viral teachable moment in Congress last week.
In a congressional hearing on inflation and corporate price gouging, Katie held up a chart showing that over HALF of the higher prices you and I are paying at the grocery store and the gas pump are caused by inflated corporate profits.
Here is a snippet of Katie’s conversation with Mike Konczal, Director of Macroeconomics at the Roosevelt Institute:

We can always count on Katie to break things down and get right to the point: Corporations are price gouging consumers, and it’s time for Congress to act.
Katie is up for re-election in two weeks, and we need to keep her in Congress. Will you split a contribution between BNC and Katie’s campaign now? [[link removed]]

Prior to her run for Congress, Katie worked as a consumer protection advocate, where she was one of the first to sound the alarm about predatory lending on Wall Street ahead of the 2008 financial crisis.
When the crisis hit, Katie was appointed by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris to assist California families cheated by the five biggest Wall Street banks.
Katie held the big banks accountable and forced them to pay billions to the people they harmed, helping tens of thousands of families move forward with their lives.
But years after the financial crisis, it’s clear that millions of Americans are STILL suffering due to corporate greed and they need a representative who will truly fight for them.
Recently, Katie has led the charge for a windfall tax to claw back illicit profits from Big Oil that are bankrupting Americans at the gas pump.
Now she’s calling out big corporate greed across the board.
We need more representatives who will speak out for working families and shut down corruption. Will you split a contribution between Katie’s re-election campaign and Brand New Congress now to keep her in Congress? [[link removed]]
In solidarity,

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and electing bold progressive fighters. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020. With seven BNC Reps currently in office [[link removed]] , we are growing progressive power in Congress.
This November we’re working to flip multiple red seats, fill open seats with bold progressives, and elect our first BNC Senator by defeating Rand Paul.
Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
