The Main Street Brigade is a rapid response team, nationwide, that can be activated to protect our communities against just this kind of devastation.
Right now, we are ALL vulnerable to the big banks, CEOs and Wall Street institutions whose irresponsibility and risky behavior caused this economic crisis. Our vulnerability is being increased by the fact that when our government proposes an agency with sound measures to protect our interests, the arsonists are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into lobbying and advertising to prevent that protection from being implemented.
Today, our work is to support the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection act, and protect our families and communities.
As we go forward, their will be other actions we can do.
