Anne:

A massive data breach at Equifax compromised sensitive data for nearly half of all U.S. consumers — including names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and the numbers of some driver's licenses. Hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers were also compromised. Now millions of Americans could be at risk for identity theft.

To make matters worse, Equifax responded by sending consumers to a website where, by signing up for credit monitoring services, they could waive their legal rights to ever take Equifax to court, for any problem.

We can't keep having these crises. We need Congress to enact strong data security standards and uphold new rules protecting one’s right to join class-action lawsuits if a corporation mistreats its customers.

A Congressional hearing on the Equifax case was just announced.

Sign our petition now to tell lawmakers to strengthen consumer data security standards and protect our rights to class-action lawsuits in light what happened with Equifax. <http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=URwPz9DUPtN2jakZvft4ug>

After you sign on, forward this email to friends and family so we can get more people urging Congress to hold Equifax accountable and work toward preventing these crises in the future.

Thanks for all you do.
