Small Business Rising is a coalition of independent business organizations representing more than 300,000 small businesses and standing up for a level playing field. We’re urging elected leaders to break the power of monopolies and safeguard our right to compete and serve the needs of our communities.

We’re calling for policymakers to:

  1. Stop monopolies from cornering the online market by breaking them up and regulating them.

  2. Block dominant corporations from engaging in abusive tactics by making our antitrust laws stronger and easier to enforce.

  3. Adopt clear or “bright-line” rules outlawing mega-mergers and setting a higher bar for allowing other mergers, including vertical acquisitions.

  4. Establish rules to create a level playing field, promote competition, and spur innovation.

We can win the fight for fair markets and thriving communities.

“(Amazon’s) behavior has harmed communities, destroyed jobs — and far from lowering prices, Amazon used its algorithm to increase prices on consumers. And it uses its power to bully suppliers and the expense of competition. We’ve long believed that the equitable and reasonable solution is to break Amazon up.”
— David Grogan, Director, ABFE, Advocacy & Public Policy, American Booksellers Association
