Congress: Ban water futures trading!

Ban Water Futures Trading!

No one should be allowed to gamble with water – but that’s exactly what financial speculators are trying to do by trading water futures on the stock market. Allowing financial speculators to profit off and drive up prices on a resource we all need is dangerous!

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Ro Khanna just re-introduced legislation to ban water futures trading. This bill will protect water as a human right by declaring that water is not a commodity with which financial speculators can gamble.

Urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Future of Water Act to ban water futures trading!
