US (AMERICANS FOR FINANCIAL REFORM) : WALL STREET wants the CFPB gone. We are fighting back.

 





Americans for Financial Reform



When the Trump administration took control of the Consumer Financial 

Protection Bureau, they immediately began attempting to dismantle it from 

the inside.


Enforcement actions were dropped, workers were sidelined, and oversight 

was frozen, turning an agency built to protect working people into one that 

served powerful financial interests.


This campaign has always been deliberate.


The CFPB has returned more than $20 billion to over 200 million people. It 

has cracked down on junk fees, predatory lending, discrimination, and financial 

scams. Wall Street has worked for years to weaken it, and the Trump 

administration accelerated that effort.


Those attacks have been blocked because of organized resistance. Courts 

intervened. Allies in Congress stepped up. Americans for Financial Reform

backed up by our nationwide network of more than 300,000 supporters 

mobilized every tool available to stop the damage in 

real time. We coordinated coalitions, briefed lawmakers, supported legal 

challenges, and forced public accountability.

resources we need to support our team in this fight, counter Wall Street 

influence, and defend the CFPB now.

The threat continues. Trump’s allies are appealing court rulings. Efforts to cut 

off funding, halt enforcement, and paralyze the agency are still underway. Wall 

Street is counting on exhaustion and silence. We are staying in this fight.


We’re fortunate to work with powerful allies like Senator Elizabeth Warren. Here’s 

what she said about our partnership in this fight:

 

“Americans for Financial Reform’s leadership is key in our efforts to stop

 

the Trump administration's attempts to destroy the CFPB. AFR is out there

 

every day, bringing together the efforts of dozens of civil rights, organizing,

 

and economic justice organizations, magnifying their power to make sure

 

everyone’s voice is included.”

 

That leadership is why the CFPB is still standing today.


The CFPB exists because people demanded accountability after the financial 

crisis. It survives today because sustained pressure has blocked every attempt to 

dismantle it. Legal action, congressional engagement, and public organizing have 

made the difference.


AFR continues to lead that work. We are coordinating national partners, briefing 

lawmakers, supporting litigation, and responding immediately to new attacks on 

consumer protections.


If this agency falls, the consequences will be immediate. Junk fees will rise, 

discrimination will spread, financial fraud will accelerate, and accountability 

will disappear.


The CFPB can still be saved, but only if we fight for it through relentless 

pressure, constant organizing, and a refusal to let Wall Street or its allies 

dismantle the protections millions of Americans rely on. Contribute $5 and 

support this critical work now.


Let’s make sure this critical watchdog can continue to do its job.

US (AMERICANS FOR FINANCIAL REFORM) : The CFPB is UNDER SIEGE. We’re fighting back.

 





Americans for Financial Reform



We stood outside the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit as judges heard arguments in a case that could determine the future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Consumer advocates and CFPB workers rallied together as the Trump administration continues to push an aggressive plan to restructure, defund, and slash up to 90% of the agency’s workforce.

Acting Director Russell Vought has taken steps to halt much of the CFPB’s work and pursue widespread layoffs and cutbacks on critical services, moves that have triggered ongoing litigation by the National Treasury Employees Union challenging those actions.

Americans for Financial Reform is proud to support CFPB workers. We coordinated a coalition letter signed by nearly 100 national, state, and local organizations demanding that the Senate stand up for a strong, robust, and independent CFPB.

That letter makes clear that the future of the CFPB is on the line and with it the only federal agency dedicated entirely to protecting people from financial exploitation.

The CFPB has returned tens of billions of dollars to people who were cheated by big banks, payday lenders, student loan servicers, mortgage companies, and credit reporting giants. It has taken action on junk fees, racial discrimination in lending, predatory payday loans, and medical debt abuses. Weakening the CFPB hands power straight back to the corporations that caused so much harm in the first place.

We are mobilizing legal experts, policy advocates, coalition partners, and grassroots supporters to defend this agency in the courts and in Congress. But this fight takes resources. Can you make a contribution today to help us defend the CFPB and protect its independence?

Nearly 100 organizations have publicly called on the Senate to defend the CFPB’s funding and structure. This is a broad coalition of consumer advocates, civil rights groups, and public interest leaders who understand that without the CFPB, predatory lenders and abusive financial actors will operate unchecked.

As I said at the rally in February, if the CFPB is stripped down to a shell, enforcement actions stall. Investigations slow. Rules go unenforced. Families facing foreclosure, veterans targeted by scams, students buried in debt, and workers hit with illegal junk fees are left to fend for themselves. That is exactly what Wall Street has wanted for years.

AFR has defended the CFPB since its creation. We fought for its strongest rules. We mobilized to protect it from previous attacks. And we are not backing down now. But we cannot do it without sustained support from people who believe in a fair financial system.

Contribute $5 to help Americans for Financial Reform defend a strong, robust, and independent CFPB now.

Let’s keep organizing, keep speaking out, and keep defending the CFPB until it has the full strength and independence consumers deserve.
