Stand with Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.. Share Your Story!

March 16, 2017

Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill to abolish Sen. Elizabeth Warren's #1 achievement in Wall Street reform - the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The CFPB is the "little engine that could" - empowered to fight big banks when they defraud credit card holders, predatory lending, and do other bad things to regular people.
They've seized back $11.7 billion for consumers who were cheated by banks.

The Trump White House is preparing to attack Elizabeth Warren's CFPB very soon - possibly with executive action.

We are getting ready now by gathering support and collecting stories from people who represent why the CFPB is so important.

If you got cheated by your credit card company or student loan provider, your bank charged you bogus fees, your mortgage servicer tried to illegally take your home, or you were otherwise hurt by big banks and financial institutions, let us know!
Especially let us know if CFPB helped you directly.

The key to making the Republicans squirm is in telling stories that are personal and emotional.

When we ran ads against Trump's Treasury Secretary featuring widows who his bank foreclosed on, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow called them the "most effective ads since the election."

With your help, we'll turn that firepower on again - to help protect the crown jewel of
Wall Street reform.
