Minnesotans for Consumer Financial Protection
(MCFP) is a community-led coalition working to make financial systems fair for everyone.

Our community-led coalition brings people power to consumer finance by building awareness, advocacy, and accountability across the state.

Awareness

Educating communities about their consumer rights and where to turn for help when their rights are violated.

Advocacy

Organizing policy campaigns and impacted communities to push for stronger protections.

Accountability

Documenting community experiences to identify problems and hold policymakers accountable.

of Consumers

MCFP documents consumer experiences through our Story Collection portal. We’re mapping experiences across Minnesota to confront corporate dominance, oppose wealth extraction, and advance our own narrative. Share your story with us to add to our growing database of consumer experiences, so we can advance consumer protections that help communities prosper.

Real World Impact

MCFP works to transform power dynamics so that impacted communities, not industry lobbyists, set the agenda for consumer finance policymaking and hold legislators and regulators accountable. 

MCFP partners with local nonprofits to offer civic engagement training for community leaders, nonprofit staff, and impacted individuals. 

Consumer Financial Protections

The consumer finance landscape is changing fast. People are saving, spending, borrowing and investing through mobile apps, with little information about whether those options are safe.
