Target: Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, U.S. Congress, and the President of the United States
Goal: We call on the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and relevant federal authorities to halt any mass firings at the CFPB and to uphold the agency’s independence and mission.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was established to safeguard ordinary Americans from predatory financial practices, holding powerful institutions accountable and ensuring fair treatment for all. The recent split decision by a federal appeals court threatens to undermine this mission by allowing mass firings of CFPB employees, a move that would destabilize the agency and jeopardize consumer protections nationwide.
Such actions set a dangerous precedent, allowing political motivations to erode the independence of agencies designed to serve the public good. We urge the courts and lawmakers to intervene, protect the CFPB’s workforce, and preserve its essential function in our democracy.
