ORGANIZER & ATTENDEE GUIDE
Campaign to Ban Congressional Stock Trading
We're building a nationwide movement of everyday people to stop one of the most outrageous forms of corruption in Washington: Members of Congress trading stocks while writing laws that affect the market.
Our strategy is simple but powerful: meet with your Member of Congress (or their staff) in their local district office, and urge them to support a discharge petition that forces a vote on a ban. We're organizing small, local groups—typically 5–10 people—to make these meetings happen across the country.
You don't need political experience. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be a constituent who cares.
Everyone in your group will have a role to play. Here's how it works:
Roles in a Local Lobbying Group
- The Scheduler
The person who gets the meeting on the calendar. You'll call or visit the local office, follow up, and confirm logistics.
- The First Speaker
The person who leads the meeting. You'll introduce the group, present the purpose of the meeting, and make the core ask.
- All Attendees
Everyone else in the group. Your job is to show up, support the message, and help demonstrate that local voters care about this issue.
We'll provide training, materials, and support—including a Zoom prep call to answer your questions and walk through everything before your meeting.
