[ [link removed] ]CBS News in Detroit reports on Junk Fees event.

We need your help to fly Becky -- a Progressive Change supporter -- to the
White House to talk with the President of the United States at an event
this week!

Becky Chong is an Oregon mom who told us her story about trying to take
her two girls to visit their grandpa for the first time since the height
of COVID. They got slammed with surprise junk fees at a major hotel chain
-- of course, right at the end of the purchase. They also had to cancel a
rare family vacation because the fees were too high.

We shared Becky’s story with the White House, and they want her to come to
Washington DC this week to tell her story to the President and media at a
big public event!

[ [link removed] ]Given that Becky’s story is about the prohibitive cost of travel, we
want to help her get to DC. The total cost of her trip is north of $1,000.
John, can you chip in $3 or more so the Progressive Change
Institute can help her get to the White House this week?

Want to see corporate greed be an issue in the 2024 election year?
[ [link removed] ]Support our election-side work to do that here.

Remember that when we ask you to share your story with us in the future
(or to take our surveys), we are sharing the results with lawmakers and
media!

This summer, the Associated Press reported: "More than a dozen House
Democrats around the country plan to hold events organized with help from
the Progressive Change Institute to promote the administration’s effort to
curb junk fees. Events have already happened in suburban Detroit,
Philadelphia, central New Jersey and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Similar
efforts are planned in coming weeks in Pittsburgh, New York and Las Vegas,
as well as in Wisconsin, Ohio and North Carolina."

We recruited people with stories to speak at these events -- along with
partners like Consumers Union, MoveOn, Color Of Change, American Economic
Liberties Project, Americans for Financial Reform, and More Perfect Union.

Our strategy worked. Our first event in Detroit was covered by local ABC,
CBS, NBC, FOX, and print media. We also got big results in Pittsburgh and
other locations.

[ [link removed] ]Now, our attempt to elevate real stories about surprise junk fees is
going onto the biggest stage possible -- a White House presidential event.
Can you chip $3 or more so the Progressive Change Institute can help Becky
get from Oregon to the White House this week?

And, [ [link removed] ]donate to our work to make corporate greed a big issue in the
election.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
