I found out who "Monopoly Man" from photo is.

Update from Public Citizen

Every day, you and Public Citizen work hard to hold corporate wrongdoers accountable.

And yesterday was no exception.

Here’s a little news coverage about our latest stunt — sending the Monopoly Man to crash a Senate hearing, at which the disgraced former CEO of Equifax was testifying:

The Hill

NY Post

CNBC

Time

BBC

Fortune

USA Today

NBC News

Newsweek

Washington Post

Washington Examiner

… and more.

The purpose of our action: Protesting forced arbitration, which gives companies like Equifax a monopoly over our justice system.

These companies use the fine print language — rip-off clauses — in consumer contracts to strip us of the right to join together in class-action lawsuits against wrongdoers like Equifax.

Act now to take a stand against forced arbitration — Equifax’s get-out-of-jail-free card.

Thanks for all you do,

Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
