Friend,
The battle to stop crypto corruption is back, and it is a two-front fight.
On one side are crypto billionaires, their lobbyists, and Donald Trump, all
pushing Congress to give the crypto industry exactly what it wants. They are
pouring money into lobbying and political campaigns while demanding laws
that weaken oversight, strip away consumer protections, and legitimize a
financial system riddled with scams, conflicts of interest, and instability.
On the other side are consumer advocates, labor groups, civil rights
organizations, and grassroots supporters like you who believe the
financial system should work for people, not crypto oligarchs. Americans
for Financial Reform is helping lead that coalition, exposing the risks of
these bills and organizing the public pressure needed to stop them.
And here is the most important fact. We have already proven that this works.
Last year, grassroots pressure helped stop versions of these crypto
bills three different times. Lawmakers heard from thousands of people
demanding real protections, and the industry’s wish list stalled in
Congress.
Donate today to help fuel the fight to stop crypto corruption and
protect our financial system.
Now the crypto lobby is at it again. They are pressuring Congress
to pass sweeping crypto legislation that would mainstream risky and
scam-prone financial products, weaken enforcement tools, and make
it easier for bad actors to operate while some regulators struggle to
keep up and others give up — siding with the industry they are
supposed to oversee.
This push is backed by enormous political spending and amplified by
Trump and his allies, who are actively pushing Congress to move
quickly on legislation that would benefit the crypto industry while
exposing consumers and investors to new risks.
That is why AFR is going all in. We are briefing lawmakers and
their staff, coordinating with a nationwide coalition of advocates,
exposing the dangers of these bills in the press, and mobilizing
grassroots pressure to stop them before they become law.
If we are going to beat crypto billionaires and their lobbyists
again, we need the resources to keep this fight going.
Donate today to help us stop crypto corruption and defend a
financial system that works for everyone.
Let’s keep standing up to crypto billionaires and win this fight again.
