Consumer Reports Webinar

The State of the Consumer Movement

It has been a tumultuous few months for our consumer rights. We are seeing huge changes at many of our government consumer watchdog agencies that directly impact your family’s health, safety and financial security.

In this webinar we took a look at the state of our consumer rights and protections, and what you can do as an individual and as a community to take action. We heard from our experts on the state of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Transportation. We also took a deep dive into attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which holds Big Banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies and other financial institutions accountable.
