Too many members of Congress who are beholden to multinational corporations, and not the people

Friends,

Today we lost in Congress, but I'm not feeling defeated.

The Senate passed a bill to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other terrible trade deals. It will go to the President's desk by the end of the week.

This bill is moving forward because there still too many members of Congress who are beholden to multinational corporations, and not the people. 

The way you change that is by building a movement -- by mobilizing, by making common cause with organizations across the political spectrum, and sticking to your principles.

That's what we did to stop the TPP.

350 local groups stepped up to confront wavering Senators, we linked arms with labor and other allies, and we never backed down -- some members of Congress got more calls in the last 24 hours than on any other day in the past 6 years. 

And as a result, this fight was much closer than anyone expected. And if we keep doing building a movement, we will be able to change the results to come.

I'm not going to lie. The road ahead is now a little steeper. Big Oil and friends have another tool in their pocket to fight back against climate action. But it's still a journey that we can, and must complete. 

Our work continues: fighting Keystone XL and other disastrous tar sands pipelines, ending the toxic threat of fracking, and divesting our schools, cities and churches from the fossil fuel industry. We must leave 4/5ths of the world’s carbon underground and we’ll keep working to keep it there. No insider deal can change that.

Congress wants to fast track more pollution, and profits for Big Oil.

We will fast track resistance, and our work to stop them.

With anger, but also with hope,

Jason

We're putting an Anti-Corruption Act on the ballot this fall.

“We would like to avoid having the problems that Detroit had, that other cities have, that certainly they have in Washington.” — Walt, Represent.Us member, Lansing

FRIEND –

I'm so proud of my city. We created a strong, cross-partisan grassroots network here in Lansing, Michigan and together, we're putting an Anti-Corruption Act on the ballot this fall. The Lansing Act will increase transparency, make our city politicians accountable, and set up voter-funded elections. Citizens here will vote for it, and it will become law.

This can happen in any city, it just takes one person who is willing to stand up and lead the charge.

See what our local news said about the Lansing Anti-Corruption Act, and learn about leading a campaign in your city.

Together, we have the power to fix corruption. That means this needs to go beyond Lansing. With each Act we pass, we'll protect a bit more of our country and build power towards a federal Act.

We can't slow down, because if we do, we lose the momentum that is vital to success in Lansing and beyond.

Will you help lead a campaign in your city?

This movement is built on the idea that everyday citizens like you and me have the power to fix our broken political system. In 2014, the people of Tallahassee, Florida proved it was possible by passing America's first Anti-Corruption Act. We were inspired by their victory and by the ambitious plan of winning 12 more cities by 2016.

I'm so proud that Lansing has answered the call. I'm ready to win and I hope you will stand side by side with me and take up the fight in your city. Together, we can fix corruption.

– Walt

P.S. What started as a small group of Represent.Us volunteers has now become a large cross-partisan effort. The Anti-Corruption Act is so popular that we blew past Lansing's signature requirement in just a few weeks. If we can do it, anyone can. Will you lead a campaign near you?

Represent.Us is a fiercely cross-partisan campaign to fix America’s broken political system.
