Get Wall St. Out of D.C. Ban Congressional Stock Trades.

Members of Congress are supposed to serve us—not line their pockets. But too many are cashing in on insider knowledge, trading stocks in companies they oversee, and putting profits ahead of the public good.

A new bipartisan bill just dropped to ban congressional stock trading—and momentum is growing fast. It would bar lawmakers and their families from owning or trading individual stocks while in office. No loopholes. No excuses.

Congress makes decisions every day that affect our lives—and they shouldn’t be influenced by their stock holdings. That’s why Congress must pass a ban on congressional stock trading right away.

Tell Congress: “Get Wall Street corruption out of D.C. Ban members of congress from trading individual stocks now.”

The conflict of interest is blatant when Congress is allowed to engage in stock trading. At least 1 in 5 members of Congress have traded stocks while writing the very laws that affect those companies. That’s clear corruption.

Voters across the political spectrum want this stopped. But unless we speak out now, party leaders can bury this bill like they have before—protecting their portfolios instead of doing what’s right.

Every day this bill stalls, lawmakers can keep using their positions to boost their own wealth and act against our interests. That’s why we can’t wait. 

Tell Congress: Pass the stock trading ban now. Public service shouldn't come with a Wall Street bonus.

The petition to Congress reads: “Get Wall Street corruption out of D.C. Ban members of congress from trading individual stocks now.”
