Oppose the creation of Musk’s "Department of Government Efficiency"
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to oppose the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Elon Musk has called for cuts across nearly the entire government as he prepares to lead Trump’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). Now, he says he wants to completely eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — an agency in charge of protecting consumers from predatory financial practices.1
Like many of Musk’s suggested cuts, eliminating the CFPB would create hardship for everyday Americans while corporations benefit. “Deleting” the CFPB, as Musk put it, would be a gift to big banks, shady payday loan companies, and Musk’s billionaire friends. We need our leaders in Congress to stand against Musk, DOGE and all these cuts!
Sign the petition: Oppose Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” now and save critical federal agencies like the CFPB.
“DOGE” is expected to pave the way for widespread deregulation, corporate favoritism, and diminished government accountability. Eliminating the CFPB would be part of this massive shift that will only help billionaires and their corporations.
Musk is ready to make the cuts that hurt people and benefit the ultra-wealthy. Unless Congress stands up for the people.
Sign the petition: Urge leaders to stand against Musk’s disastrous “Department of Government Efficiency.”
