Hands Off the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created to protect everyday Americans from predatory financial practices and hold corporations accountable. But now, billionaires like Elon Musk and their allies in Congress are targeting the CFPB as part of Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency—a sham effort designed to gut critical agencies and dismantle consumer protections.

Since its founding, the CFPB has returned billions of dollars to consumers harmed by scams, abusive lending practices, and financial fraud. It plays a critical role in ensuring transparency and fairness in the financial sector. But under the guise of “efficiency,” Trump and Musk are spearheading efforts to strip the CFPB of its independence, weaken its enforcement capabilities, and dismantle its ability to stand up to powerful financial interests.

This attack on the CFPB is a direct assault on hard-working Americans who rely on its oversight to safeguard their financial futures. Without the CFPB, predatory practices could run rampant, leaving families vulnerable to exploitation by credit card companies, mortgage lenders, and payday loan operators.

Trump and Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency isn’t about streamlining government—it’s about empowering billionaires and corporations at the expense of ordinary Americans. Weakening the CFPB will do nothing but give financial giants free rein to exploit consumers.

We call on Congress to reject any efforts to weaken or dismantle the CFPB. Instead of bowing to billionaire influence, lawmakers should strengthen the agency’s ability to protect consumers and hold powerful corporations accountable.

Sign the petition to demand that Congress keep its hands off the CFPB and defend the rights of consumers. Let’s ensure that financial fairness and accountability remain a cornerstone of our economy.
