Program Assistant
AFR has been called "the leading voice for Wall Street accountability" in Washington.
Formed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, our coalition led the 'outside' campaign to strengthen and win passage of the Dodd Frank Financial Reform bill, including the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Since then we have fought Wall Street capture of policy making, improving countless rules and regulations, reigning in abuses by predatory lenders, and putting big new ideas on the table to transform the financial system.
We are seeking a Program Assistant who will support our Policy and Research teams and the Executive Director in advancing AFREF's agenda to transform the financial system to build a more racially and economically equitable society.
