#Stop Politicians Profiting from #War Act. It’s time to ban members of #Congress from owning stock in weapons corporations, and push our government to invest in our communities, not corporate profits. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgSign to support Rashida Tlaib’s Stop Politicians Profiting From War Act Between 2019 and 2021, 97 members of Congress or their family members invested in weapons contractor stocks, and 25 of them sat on committees directly responsible for shaping national security policy while they traded and profited off those stocks. This is unacceptable corruption, which incentivizes lawmakers to push for military aggression rather than diplomacy. Members of Congress were elected to serve the public, not to serve their stock portfolios. They shouldn’t be able to use their positions of power to get rich while voting to pass more funding to bomb innocent civilians. Their constituents sent them to Congress to invest in life and in everyday working people, not in death and endless war. But each year, the majority of Congresspeople pass record-breaking military budgets, sending nearly $1 trillion each year to the U.S. Department of Defense (housed in the Pentagon)—which has failed to pass an audit for six years in a row, and which allocates around half its annual budget directly to for-profit military contractors. Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act to prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from having any financial interests in corporations that do business with the U.S. Department of Defense—including banning members from trading defense stocks. Please add your name to show your support for Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act to ban members of Congress from profiting off of endless war.

I need you with me to #stop #Musk and #WallStreet from destroying the agency that protects millions of people from scams and financial abuse. Take action now to demand #Congress defend the #CFPB. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: Defend the CFPB Elon Musk has declared war on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He tweeted “CFPB R.I.P.” because he and Wall Street’s worst actors are pushing House Republicans to dismantle the agency. This isn’t just talk. Some House Republicans are moving right now to gut the CFPB’s funding and block its enforcement powers. If they succeed, financial predators will have free rein to rip off working people with zero consequences. Banks will be free to hike fees, discriminate against Black and Brown communities, and target vulnerable consumers with abusive loans. Abusive credit card fees will proliferate, while Wall Street executives rake in record profits. The CFPB is the only agency that exists to stop this and it will be powerless to act. This is exactly what Wall Street and Musk’s billionaire allies want. They couldn’t kill the CFPB outright, so now they want to starve it from the inside, cutting off enforcement and rolling back consumer protections. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Wall Street want a system where they win, and everyone else loses. Congress has a choice: stand with consumers or side with Musk and financial predators. We have prewritten text targeted for Democrats, swing-district Republicans, and another for other Republicans which you can edit or send as is. Click ‘START WRITING’ to send your direct message demanding your U.S. House representative defend the CFPB, not dismantle it -- and protect consumers immediately by keeping Elon Musk's hands off now.

That’s why we must act now. Sign the petition to join us and demand that #Congress use this funding fight to #STOP Elon #Musk’s slash and burn campaign >> click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: STOP the Musk BudgetCommon Cause just sent a letter to Congress demanding that our elected representatives use their powers to hold President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE accountable. ​We're sending a clear message: Congress must use this funding fight to STOP Elon Musk’s hostile takeover by requiring him and Trump to: - Spend funding previously approved by Congress – and rein in their cuts to our social safety net to protect the health and economic stability of our communities. - Respect the rule of law and abide by decisions made by the courts. - Comply with oversight and transparency rules to keep Americans aware of their actions – like subpoenas, investigations, and appearances at hearings. I just signed the petition urging Congress to use this funding fight to STOP Musk's hostile takeover – and I hope you will, too.
