About Us

 

The Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition is a non-profit organization created by a group of consumer advocates in order to fill a need in Maryland for a state-wide organization focused on consumer rights. Our members include individuals and organizations that support the interests of consumers.

 


Our Mission

· Advocate on behalf of consumers before the State legislature and state agencies.

· Study issues of concern to consumers and serve as a resource to the community on those issues.

· Foster communication among organizations and government agencies involved in protecting consumer interests.

· Maintain a web site to provide consumers with up-to-date consumer information.
