About
A progressive, nonpartisan nonprofit coalition of over 200 consumer, labor, civil rights, business, investor, faith-based, and community organizations advocating for stronger financial regulation, stricter oversight of Wall Street, and reforms to create a fair financial system serving the public good. Formed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, it supported the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and launched the Take on Wall Street coalition in 2016.

Richard Perry
coordinated_against
Americans for Financial Reform (AFR) coordinated opposition to Richard Perry and other hedge fund managers' legal challenges against the U.S. government over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. AFR argued that Perry's efforts were an attempt to privatize profits while socializing risks, and lobbied against any settlements that would benefit shareholders at the expense of taxpayers. Perry viewed AFR's advocacy as part of a broader campaign to limit investor rights.
