Consumer rights play a significant role in American society, underpinning freedom, economic growth, and success. During National Consumer Protection Week, efforts are renewed to safeguard these rights by focusing on privacy and transparency, ensuring a thriving economy.
The protection of personal data and transactions is vital for navigating the market economy and preventing fraud and cybersecurity threats. In line with this, measures have been taken to curb regulatory overreach affecting cryptocurrency growth. An Executive Order has also been signed to ensure transparency in drug pricing advertisements, promoting honest information for consumer decision-making.
Local and federal agencies, alongside consumer organizations, collaborate during this week to provide resources that help Americans protect their privacy and financial well-being. The importance of an informed consumer is emphasized as actions align with protecting national rights and privacy.
President Donald J. Trump has proclaimed March 2 through March 8, 2025, as National Consumer Protection Week. He encourages the use of online resources from the Federal Trade Commission for consumer education nationwide.
"In witness whereof," President Trump declared his proclamation on March 6, 2025.
