Consumer protection is under attack. Support the work of the National Consumer Law Center to defend important consumer protections in Congress, in regulatory agencies, and in the courts.
Donations to the Consumer Law Defense Fund fuel NCLC’s rapid response to aggressive attempts to dismantle hard won progress.
With strategic advocacy and litigation, NCLC is fighting on many fronts:
- NCLC is a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s illegal effort to shut down the CFPB, along with labor and civil rights organizations.
- UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson granted a preliminary injunction in the case, requiring the CFPB to reinstate fired employees, stop any reductions in force, preserve data and ensure employees can perform their statutorily mandated functions.
- NCLC joined Democracy Forward to defend the CFPB’s Overdraft Fee Rule from a challenge brought by a group of financial institutions.
- UPDATE: Federal court allows motion to intervene
- NCLC is seeking to intervene to defend the CFPB’s Medical Debt Rule in two court challenges brought by debt collectors.
- NCLC, along with four small business owners and the National Consumers League, is seeking permission to intervene in a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to defend the “one-to-one consent rule” – a Federal Communications Commission regulation aimed at fighting the robocall epidemic.
- UPDATE: The parties asked the 11th Circuit for en banc rehearing to reconsider a three-judge panel’s decision to vacate the FCC’s one-to-one consent rule.
- NCLC is joining an amicus brief in the Laboratory Corporation of American Holdings v. Davis, a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that has the potential to hinder federal class action litigation.
- NCLC is a sponsor and organizer of Consumer Advocacy Week, led by Consumer Federation of America, when advocates from across the country will meet virtually with congressional offices the week of March 10-14.
