We are working with Consumer Federation of America to offer virtual Lobby Day training this year. The free training kicks off tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 10, at 3 p.m., with words from Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL), followed by virtual lobbying opportunities throughout the month with your reps in Congress.
Help us fight back against one of the most financially devastating practices impacting consumers today: predatory lending (e.g., payday lenders, auto title lenders and other loan sharks).
Please
register here to help us virtually lobby Congress throughout September on:
• How you and your loved ones have been impacted—particularly during a pandemic—by the lack of protections around high-cost, small-dollar lending.
• Supporting the Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act (HR 5050/S 2833), which would cap consumer interest rates at 36%.
• Ending predatory and
rent-a-bank schemes that allow lenders with triple-digit interest rates to skirt state laws.
This is a great opportunity to network with like-minded groups and allies from around the country; learn how to promote specific legislation to make a real difference in our lives; and make lasting connections with your state’s congressional reps in order to fight the mounting assaults on consumer protections!
