I’m incredibly upset about the Trump administration’s attempt to fire 90% of the CFPB’s staff. Although a court has pushed back, this agency will likely remain under attack because it is fighting for consumers, not lobbyists.
It's crucially important that we don't let the Trump administration defang and defund the CFPB. It represents government at its best.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to fight to keep banks honest and protect consumers from scams and schemes to steal our data. And it has worked extremely well, forcing banks to repay or forgive at least $21 billion through enforcement, and saving us billions more through limiting banks' ability to charge them ridiculous fees.
Please do whatever you can to help sustain its funding.
