Members of Congress have access to sensitive information about our economy and national security. But right now, existing ethics laws don’t go far enough to prevent them from playing the stock market with that information.
We need legislation that will ban members from buying and selling individual stocks and stop this unethical behavior once and for all.
5 million Americans, disproportionately people of color, are currently shut out of democracy due to felony convictions. Felony disenfranchisement laws are Jim Crow relics that have no place in our democracy.
Across the country, there’s grassroots momentum building to restore voting rights to people with felony convictions. Until everyone has a vote, our democracy will not be truly representative. We’re working to make universal voting rights a reality—and we need you with us.
Voter suppression is escalating nationwide. It’s clear that the GOP have bought into Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and will continue to do everything in their power to make voting more difficult.
We need true democracy champions in the House, the Senate, and the states who will fight for us. As the 2022 midterms approach, we’re coming together to elect these champions up and down the ballot.
In 2021, the GOP has passed dozens of voter suppression bills that make it more difficult for voters, particularly voters of color, to cast their ballots. Far too many Americans have lost faith in our government because our democracy has never worked for all of its citizens.
The Freedom to Vote Act would strengthen our democracy by reversing many of the voter suppression laws we’ve seen passed at the state level, make voting more accessible, and fight against the extreme partisan gerrymandering we can expect from GOP-held state legislatures.
Trump used our tax dollars to prop up his businesses and re-election bid, while inviting foreign interference in our elections. Unless we take action now, future administrations could get away with similar abuses of power—or worse.
The Protecting Our Democracy Act would ensure that no president is above the law by prohibiting self pardons, preventing presidents from profiting from office, and ensuring presidents can be prosecuted for wrongdoing.
Since our country’s inception, far too many Americans have been discriminated against and disenfranchised at the ballot box. In 2021 alone, one in three states have passed laws restricting voting.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act would prevent future racist voter suppression bills from being implemented.
