The Big Banks Own Our Economy – Break Them Up

Breaking up the biggest banks is our best chance at breaking an economic and political stranglehold — it could be the biggest reform to our economy and corporate power in 80 years. Sign the petition!

Massive unemployment, mounting debt, and collapsing budgets — the big banks have taken over and dominate Congress. We want a sustainable, growing economy. We need an economy that stops transferring wealth and power to a few – we need real competition, access to resources, investment in education and regional industries, and banks that are too-big-to-fail must never again be so big.

ANWF, partner organizations, and Nobel Prize economists, academics, and visionaries have a structural reform policy to break up their concentrated power – and it took less than a year for it to get introduced in Congress. We can set a new course that benefits the public over the status quo.

Our current campaign: 5 Questions.
Many candidates and political leaders need an economic vision with concrete proposal plans to get us there. We are helping to develop this vision – we need a less speculative, sustainable, growing, vibrant economy – and we have 5 questions you can ask your local candidates to get them there.

Tell Them: Co-sign! You can email Congress to tell them to co-sponsor the Brown/Kaufman SAFE Banking Act that puts hard caps on the size of banks.
