Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and other senators heeded our call to amplify the American Prospect's big report yesterday that Republicans are trying to overturn a Biden Administration rule capping credit card late fees:

AMERICAN PROSPECT: Republicans Are Objectively Pro–Junk Fee
Every Republican, including those in swing districts, will now have to decide whether they support higher costs on Americans.

Can you add to the momentum and help spread the word so millions of people know that Democrats are fighting corporate greed and want to lower costs for American families, while Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are actively fighting to raise costs by doing the bidding of greedy corporations? Forward this email to others, and take these steps:

1. If you're on any social media, post this article: https://prospect.org/politics/2024-04-12-republicans-objectively-pro-junk-fee/ You can also share our posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
2. We're continuing to lift the voices of people impacted by fees across many industries. Click here and tell us your story.

The American Prospect quotes our Progressive Change co-founder on why this is so important:

In politics, an argument typically needs two sides for it to be elevated in the national conversation. "We’ve seen Democratic unity on fighting surprise junk fees and naming corporate villains like credit card companies, banks, and airlines," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Institute, which worked with the Biden administration last year to arrange local events on junk fees in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania. "What’s been missing is opponents smoking themselves out and raising the volume of this fight so the public knows who is on their side."...

So here we have a potential VP pick and the financial industry teaming up to support junk fees. Every Republican, including those in swing districts, will now have to decide whether they support higher costs on Americans, which will be redistributed to the banks and the card companies.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
