What is #CongressTradingBan?

#CongressTradingBan is a popular hashtag on social media representing public demand for banning stock trading by members of the U.S. Congress.

Why is this important?

Members of Congress have access to classified or non-public information about upcoming laws and policies. If they use that information for stock trading, it’s considered a form of abuse of power and a conflict of interest. Many believe it resembles insider trading.

Who supports the ban?

Citizens, social activists, reform-minded politicians, and even some members of Congress support this movement. They want legislation that prohibits lawmakers from trading individual stocks while in office.

What's the goal?

Increase transparency

Prevent financial corruption

Build public trust in lawmakers

This hashtag has become a symbol of the public's demand for honesty and integrity in politics.
