So those boosted unemployment checks have created a bizarre distortion in the labor market, where holding on to a job doesn't guarantee being financially better off than losing one. https://t.co/dmM8nohBzg

It was just a few months ago when things were looking up for Latinos. But the latest U.S. jobs report shows that Latinos are the worst hit, with a record jobless rate of 18.9%, higher than any other ethnic group. https://t.co/wJfM2rNwvw

Debt collectors could send *unlimited* emails, texts & social media messages w/o consumer consent under a @CFPB plan. New poll shows bipartisan opposition to this proposal. Surprised? #StopTheDebtTrap #FairDebt #ProtectConsumers #EndRobocalls

[AntiPovertyCoalition @DallasVSPoverty]

40 years after the #FairDebtCollection Practices Act (#FDCPA) was signed, debt collection abuses remain pervasive. Debt collection problems are a leading source of consumer complaints to the @CFPB, with more than 81,500 complaints filed in 2018. #ProtectConsumers #StopTheDebtTrap

After years of fighting, we saw a landmark federal regulation to #StopTheDebtTrapof payday loans! Now the @CFPB is threatening to gut it. Help protect the rule. #PutConsumersFirst

[AntiPovertyCoalition @DallasVSPoverty]

The @CFPB's final 2017 rules would require payday lenders to take into account borrowers’ ability to repay. This common-sense measure would prevent millions from falling into a vicious cycle of debt. #StopTheDebtTrap #PutConsumersFirst
