Fighting for Consumers' Rights
The Consumer Federation of California is a non-profit advocacy
organization. Since 1960, the Consumer Federation of California has
been a powerful voice for consumer rights. CFC campaigns for state and
federal laws that place consumer protection ahead of corporate profit.
Each year, CFC testifies before the California legislature on dozens of
bills that affect millions of our state's consumers. CFC also appears
before state agencies in support of consumer regulations.
Recent CFC legislative issues include: protecting consumer financial
privacy, reforming accounting industry practices, enabling patients to
sue HMO's for denial of care, holding homebuilders accountable for
construction defects, prohibiting manufacturers from keeping secret
vital safety information about defective products, enacting cell phone
users rights, and strengthening food safety laws.
Our Members Run the CFC
Every two years, CFC members choose delegates to a governing
convention, which adopts policies and elects Officers and a Policy
Board. Between conventions, the Policy Board, under the leadership of
our President, governs the CFC. Day to day operation is under the
direction of an Executive Director, appointed by the Policy Board.
CFC Education Foundation
CFC sponsors the Consumer Federation of California Education
Foundation, which is a tax-exempt educational organization under
Section 501(C)(3) of the IRS Code. An autonomous Board of Directors
governs the CFC Education Foundation.
