Outside the Oval Office today, President Biden announced new efforts to
crack down on surprise junk fees by ensuring "front-end pricing" on things
like airline tickets, hotel rooms, rent prices, and other areas where
corporations bury hidden costs.

Biden was introduced by Oregon mom Becky Chong -- a Progressive Change
supporter and MoveOn member -- after we shared her story of being hit with
unexpected junk fees with the White House.

through with the public on popular issues in 2024.

This is a great example of how we can make positive change that helps
millions of families -- through executive branch action.

Progressive Change members across the country chipped in to help her get
to DC today -- where her whole family got to meet FTC Chair Lina Kahn and
CFPB Director Rohit Chopra in the West Wing!

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."

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] ]Help continue an effective messaging strategy in 2024!

And today, on the biggest stage of all at the White House, Becky delivered
this message to national media:

"We work hard for our money, and instead of getting to enjoy it, we have
to be on alert for companies looking to take every nickel and dime they
can. The President is taking this seriously and fighting hard for working
families like mine. No one should have to figure out how to cover costs
that were not transparent upfront and ended up being beyond what they
budgeted for. For that, Mr. President, we say thank you."

There is much more work to be done -- in the Administration, in Congress,
and on the campaign trail.

When you donate to our work, you make all of this possible, and much more.

greed a big issue in the election. Donate here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
