19] – On Tues., Oct. 7 at 6:30 PM ET, hear inspiring commentary from leaders including Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Tina Smith (D-MN) on why the voices of grassroots activists are needed to push back against crypto industry rhetoric and undue influence - Learn how the crypto industry’s political agenda is a threat to investors, communities, the environment, and the financial system. The Senate may soon take up legislation that is poised to cement a massive deregulatory giveaway to the crypto billionaires.
