The CFA's website states that its members are nearly 300 consumer-oriented non-profits, each with a combined membership of 50 million people. CFA members include national organizations such as Consumers Union and U.S. PIRG, state and local consumer organizations, state and local protection agencies, credit unions, rural electric cooperatives and public power groups. Members pay dues ranging from under $100 to $20,000 per year, elect the board of directors and vote on policies.
The CFA undertakes a wide range of activities and interests; many activities centre on scrutinizing businesses and their practices, products, and services by citizens, civic groups, the news media, and government regulatory agencies to defend the interests of the public at large. It is generally regarded as liberal in the modern American sense of the term and is associated with the consumer movement. The organization is headquartered in Washington, DC, with numerous state and local members. CFA is a 501(c)(3) organization.
State consumer federations such as the Consumer Federation of California, Alabama Arise, Chicago Consumer Coalition, Wisconsin Consumers League, and the North Carolina Consumers Council also exist. These competitor federations advocate for similar rules and regulations but with a narrower geographic focus. All CFA member groups retain their autonomy. At the same time, their bylaws reflect a tendency to be united in purpose to impact public policy more significantly. Provided by Wikipedia
