Consumer advocates from Washington State hit the pavement today during Consumer Justice Lobby Week. #CJLD2025 participants urged members to support (or continue to support!) the #FAIRAct to end #FinePrintTraps and judicial nominees with #ConsumerLaw experience. #ProtectConsumers
Consumer advocates from across the nation are together in Washington, DC, for Consumer Justice Lobby Day. Congress must pass the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration #FinePrintTraps and nominate federal judges with experience representing everyday people. #CJLD2025 #ProtectConsumers
You can tell forced arbitration has gotten out of control when even fast food restaurants are using it to avoid accountability! We need the #FAIRAct now to #EndForcedArbitration.
News about this data breach comes just days after Discord users report having to sign a new ToS that included a forced arbitration clause and class action ban.
With consumer privacy on the line, it's clear that we need to #EndForcedArbitration and pass the #FAIRAct.
When there’s no accountability, there’s no incentive for lawbreaking corporations to change their ways. The first step to keeping companies honest is by ending forced arbitration so they can’t sweep wrongdoing under the rug anymore. Pass the #FAIRAct
Just when you thought forced arbitration clauses could not get more ridiculous:
Now, even parking your car can mean giving up your right to a jury trial or to join a class action. We need the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration ASAP.
From clpblog.citizen.org/arbitration-...:
In 2021, consumers were more likely to be struck by lightning than win in FA. Why do corporations get to choose where to settle disputes but consumers and workers don’t? The #FAIRAct will #EndForcedArbitration and restore our freedom to choose where we are heard.

Congress must pass the #FAIRAct to restore everyone’s rights to join together to hold big banks and corporations accountable when they cause harm to groups of workers or consumers. #EndForcedArbitration
“Businesses shouldn’t be allowed to use hidden terms in fine-print contracts to escape justice when they steal from you. I applaud Senator Blumenthal and Congressman Johnson for introducing the critically important #FAIRAct.” #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/sen-blumenth...
New from our blog: from AI chatbots to a "mistake" by Tesla, here are 5 recent cases demonstrating why we need Congress to pass the #FAIRAct and restore access to justice for consumers.
One of the biggest lies spread by corporations is that consumers and workers voluntarily agree to #ForcedArbitration.
Most people don’t know a forced arbitration clause is part of their contract, and the contract is typically "take-it-or-leave-it." #FinePrintTraps #FairAct #ProtectConsumers
There’s no judge & there’s no jury. Through forced arbitration, employers & corporations have created a private system of justice where the constitutionally created protections of our legal system don't apply. That’s why consumers, workers, and small biz need the #FAIRAct
The #FAIRAct would make sure arbitration is chosen, not forced. Consumers and workers should have the freedom to be heard where they want to be heard. Time to #EndForcedArbitration and restore individual choice. @consumeradvocates.bsky.social

From his experience as a litigator @blumenthal.senate.gov knows that forced arbitration is "un-American."
Thank you to Senator Blumenthal for reintroducing the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration and restore harmed consumers' and workers' freedom to go before a judge and jury.
“With the federal government walking away from consumer protections, it is more important now than ever to restore our right to protect ourselves when companies violate the law,” said Laure Saunders @nclc4consumers.bsky.social #FAIRAct #FinePrintTraps #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/sen-blumenth...

WATCH @hankjohnson.house.gov on why we need the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration:
"You can't get a cellphone, or a credit card, or even a job nowadays unless you sign away your right to a jury trial because that's what every corporation is requiring."
Character.AI, ChatGPT, and other AI products have a dirty secret in their fine print: forced arbitration. With AI skyrocketing in popularity and few guardrails in place, victims and their families are finding they can’t bring their claims to court. #EndForcedArbitration. Pass the #FAIRAct
A reminder this Constitution Day: the right to be heard by a judge and jury is enshrined in the 7th Amendment. But corporate forced arbitration clauses to strip us of that right. We need Congress to pass the #FAIRAct and #EndForcedArbitration to restore our ability to access justice in the courts.
You shouldn’t have to give up your rights just because you checked a box. But that’s what happens when you use a product or service with a forced arbitration clause in the fine print. That’s why we need the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration
Thank you @hankjohnson.house.gov and @blumenthal.senate.gov for standing with everyone who isn't a massive corporation and re-introducing the #FAIRAct. The #FAIRAct doesn't eliminate arbitration, it makes it a choice.

The #FAIRAct will end corporations’ use of forced arbitration and give cheated consumers, workers, and small-business owners their day in court. #ProtectConsumers #FinePrintTraps www.nclc.org/sen-blumenth...
The devil is in the fine print: thousands of consumers and workers unknowingly sing away their right to go to court and join class actions every day. Congress must pass the #FAIRAct to #EndForcedArbitration.
Big companies like Ticketmaster will do anything to avoid accountability. That includes using forced arbitration clauses, banning class actions, and changing the arbitration rules to their advantage. Consumers need the #FAIRAct #EndForcedArbitration www.levernews.com/ticketmaster...
The #FAIRAct would make sure arbitration is chosen, not forced. Consumers and workers should have the freedom to be heard when & where they want to be heard.
