Our ask this week:

In light of the recent Equifax data breach, we're asking our Senators to stop dismantling regulations on the financial industry, protection for consumers, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The Trump administration has made no secret of wanting to remove many regulations on the financial industry, created during the Obama administration at the end of the Great Recession and intended to protect consumers.

• Equifax breach may kill repeal of CFPB mandatory arbitration rule (American Banker)
• Equifax is Proving Why Forced Arbitration Clauses Ought to be Banned, Just Like the CFPB Wants to Do (The Intercept)

Sign ideas might involve the theme of protecting consumers and ordinary citizens, rather than large financial institutions.
