There is an epidemic of crime in America.

Innocent, hard-working Americans are being terrorized and even killed by depraved criminals emboldened by a system of so-called justice that far too often administers little more than a slap on the wrist — if it investigates and prosecutes the perpetrators at all.

I’m talking, of course, about corporate crime.

Here are just a few recent examples of corporate executives intentionally hiding known dangers from their customers, their employees, and the American people:
And those are only the tip of a corporate crime iceberg.

Legislation in Congress — the Hide No Harm Act — would impose criminal penalties directly on high-level corporate executives when they knowingly hide dangers to consumers and workers that result in injury or death.

Tell Congress:

Countless lives have been lost because corporations intentionally hid life-threatening dangers from the public. Over and over again, fines — even very large ones — have been ineffective at holding corporate bad actors accountable and ensuring they don’t break the law again. The Hide No Harm Act would protect the public by holding individual corporate executives accountable with jail time. Congress should pass this commonsense law immediately.
