OccupyTheSEC

Nonprofit that grew out of the NYC OWS movement. We write comment letters, file amicus briefs & advocate for regulation & enforcement in the public interest.

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

OSEC has submitted a letter to the CFIUS regarding its “Known Investor Program.” We argue that an expedited review pathway for so-called “trusted” foreign investors risks financial fragility and climate instability. https://t.co/4hMDbemScw

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

We submitted a letter to the CFPB regarding their attempt to reopen and then gut the Personal Financial Data Rights (PFDR) Rule, which establishes consumers’ right to access their financial data. The letter can be found here: https://t.co/KLZddLYspG

@ThisAmerLife Great story but you really buried the lede in this tweet. Try this: Israel Targets the Heads of Gazan Children.

A robust CFPB ensures that consumers will increasingly rely on the stability and reliability of traditional banks by pushing capital away from volatile and speculative markets, writes Akshat Tewary, of Occupy the SEC, in @AmerBanker @BankThink.https://t.co/KnfWEZhwFh

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

We submitted a comment letter to the CFPB regarding credit card industry regulations. We submitted this letter under the assumption that the CFPB will survive the unconstitutional attack against it by craven political appointees in the new administration. https://t.co/QNwPIWcNZ4

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

We submitted a letter to regulators asking them to strengthen their long overdue proposal to implement Section 956 of the Dodd Frank Act, which prohibits certain incentive-based compensation arrangements among financial institutions. https://t.co/n9scttP848

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

Here's our comment letter to the OCC and the Fed Board regarding their Basel III “end-game” regulatory capital rule. In the letter, we applaud the agencies for finally implementing these global standards, and push them to avoid diluting the proposal. https://t.co/uItVJGInAd

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

We submitted a letter to the SEC opposing proposals to list certain spot bitcoin ETFs. The proposed ETFs primarily target retail investors, offering them access to bitcoin without the necessary safeguards. https://t.co/sq5RZMhugz

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

We responded to the FinCEN proposal regarding access to non-public shareholder information (BOI). In the letter, we emphasize that disclosure of shareholder information is necessary to prevent tax fraud and other illicit activity by wealthy bad actors. https://t.co/1k09sISq87

[OccupyTheSEC @OccupyTheSEC]

OSEC submitted a letter to the SEC for its proposed disclosure and reporting framework standards to combat greenwashing by investment companies and advisers. We generally commended the proposal, with a couple of suggestions. https://t.co/UA77icCPuk

@TedwardHall @HarrisonTesoura @progmoneycanada @TheNEEDAct @pslebow @KnowParty @hmsarchitecture @BorisRorer @OccupyWallStNYC @OccupyWallSt @OccupyDublin @StatenIslandOS @OccupyLondon We reached out to major Occupy accounts too and they're largely dormant unfortunately. @HarrisonTesoura is one of the best OGs still kicking it. @OccupytheSEC is still active and doing great work. @OccupyDemocrats sadly seem like all shills.

If anyone knows others, pls share!

@harrylitman There is no right to secrecy of SCOTUS decisions explicitly set forth in the constitution so the right must not exist, right?

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Trump fought us in court for years to keep his White House visitor logs secret. This is a bigger loss for him than you may realize.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass was born on this day in 1818.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

So far we've got the Trump administration on everything from violating conflict of interest laws, violating the Hatch Act, lying to Congress, weaponizing the DOJ and now violating the Presidential Records Act. Probably missed a couple but the trend is clear.

@ossoff @SenWarren @SenSanders @SenMarkKelly @SenJohnThune @Sen_JoeManchin Vote NO on Powell for Fed Chair. His ethics & trading violations should bar him from public office.
