Becca Balint (VT-AL) launched a Progressive Caucus Task Force to end corporate greed. Rep. Balint\u2019s Task Force is one of four that will be focused on advancing a slate of policy proposals to set a vision for the Democratic agenda that puts the needs of working people first.\n\n\u201cI came to Congress to unrig a system that makes it so hard for so many Americans to get a fair shot,\u201d said Rep. Becca Balint. \u201cAnd today, I\u2019m fired up to launch the Ending Corporate Greed Task Force alongside my colleagues to do the real work necessary to build an America that gives people a real chance at an easier life. Corporate greed is at the root of so many of the struggles working people face. It\u2019s time we take back power over our rigged economy and fight back against the greed that makes everything harder for the rest of us. Because we have a vision for a reality where we can all afford to make rent, have affordable health care, get paid fair wages, and get an education without crippling debt.\u201d\n\nThe four Task Forces\u2014focused on lowering costs, ending corporate greed, fighting corruption, and securing better pay and benefits\u2014are part of a broader effort by the Progressive Caucus to define a Democratic governing agenda that is clear, popular, easy to understand, and quickly delivers material benefits to working people. The other task forces launched today by the Caucus will be led by the following Members:\n\nRep. Omar, Promoting Peace & Security\n\nRep. Min, Fighting Corruption\n\nRep. Johnson, Fighting Corruption (Vice Chair)\n\nRep. Ansari, Lowering Costs\n\nRep.
