Foundation for Taxpayers and Consumers Rights

VOTER WORK

The FTCR's Oaks Project is composed of volunteers who are trained to become leaders and advocates within their communities. They're known as "Oaks" because, like the venerable Oak Tree, these individuals are strong and sturdy, and firmly rooted in communities across California. They've come together to renew our democracy in the face of big money politics.

DESCRIPTION

The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) is a tax exempt, nonprofit organization deploying an in-house team of public interest lawyers, policy experts, strategists, public educators, and grassroots activists to advance and protect the interests of consumers and taxpayers. Founded in 1985 by nationally known consumer activist and attorney Harvey Rosenfield, FTCR works with public interest groups in Washington and throughout the nation. FTCR's day-in, day-out consumer protection and advocacy work embraces a wide variety of issues affecting the daily lives and pocketbooks of millions of Americans.
