People Power takes on greed and fights for consumers-especially vulnerable consumers
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (also known as CFCB) is under attack.
The CFCB protects consumers and vulnerable groups like servicemembers, veterans, students, and older Americans, by setting and enforcing rules that protect consumers from scams, predatory lenders, and discrimination. Only 12 years old, the CFCB has put back 17.5 billion in Americans’ pockets in the form of monetary compensation, principal reductions, canceled debts, and other consumer relief resulting from CFPB enforcement and supervision works.
Unfortunately, bad financial actors are pushing for a rollback of protections in Congress and a case to be heard in the Supreme Court that will decimate protections for any financial transaction involving a home, auto, payday loans, credit cards, debit accounts, fintech products, and more.

I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
