We work to elevate regulators who care more about the wellbeing of ordinary people than Wall Street's bottom line, and we fight to ensure that Congress passes laws and conducts oversight to hold the financial sector accountable. We oppose deregulation and consolidation that makes our financial system less sound, and push back against attempts by the finance and tech sectors to normalize exploitative products and systems.
When the moment or issue demands it, we dive in on longer-term projects, leveraging our staff and resources to win big victories in the fight for transparency, equity and justice.
The Agency Spotlight tracks appointments to leadership positions at 39 agencies through the confirmation process and beyond. The Spotlight monitors and exhibits key votes for three prominent agencies — the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
We use our team’s deep expertise to craft policy and intervene in debates to serve the interests of people, not entrenched power.
We work with reporters to break crucial stories, give expert commentary and ensure the role of grassroots activism is not ignored in the press.
