I’m writing about the Trump administration’s attempt to fire 90% of the CFPB’s staff. Although a court has pushed back, the agency will likely remain under attack because it is fighting for CONSUMERS, not lobbyists. It's critically important that we don't defund the CFPB. It represents government at its best. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to fight to keep banks honest and protect people like me from scams and schemes that steal our data. In the past, it forced banks to repay or forgive at least $21 billion, and saved us billions more by limiting banks' ability to charge ridiculous fees. Please do whatever you can to help sustain its funding and keep the Bureau active.
