Dear Supporter,
We are thrilled to share the launch of CIP’s newest database, our Legislative Tracker, a free public database tracking legislation pertaining to U.S. arms sales and security assistance in the 118th Congress.
The United States is the world’s largest weapons exporter; it alone makes up nearly 40% of the global arms market. Transparency about who receives U.S. weapons, their impact, and what oversight mechanisms are in place to reduce civilian harm is severely lacking. Too frequently, U.S. made weapons are being sold to governments who use them to abuse and oppress their own citizens and stifle democratic movements.
“This tracker will be a great resource for journalists, researchers, and advocates who want to work with Congress to improve oversight of U.S. arms sales.” – Jeff Abramson, Senior Fellow for conventional arms control and transfers at the Arms Control Association and Director of the Forum on the Arms Trade.
