The DC CONSUMER RIGHTS COALITION — Who We are
The DC Consumer Rights Coalition is a group of consumer rights advocates who wish to serve D.C.’s consumers and the D.C.consumer advocate community. We focus on issues of concern to local consumers.
Our Current Developments page puts an emphasis on information likely to be important to local consumers.
We include local news and news of important developments from around the country with local consequences. We focus on developments that suggest the power of our local Attorney General and other local officials and not-for-profit groups to successfully assert consumer interests.
