Many CO consumer advocates engaged in last week's listening session with @FTC & @COAttnyGeneral. I look back at key issues raised & agree with AG @pweiser 's team analogy. AG's office can help us evolve from individual players to team #ConsumerProtection https://t.co/5UxbDZzdBV

"Colorado residents are turning to credit cards and personal loans at the second-highest rate in the country as they struggle to make it through the pandemic"

Great article in @denbizjournal featuring @JiceJohnson, CEO of Black Business Initiative, about the relationship between business and racial injustice. Johnson says, "We have to really dig into being uncomfortable," and turn conversation into action. https://t.co/6lt1gvuIDW
"When courts reopen, these companies will be first in line to win new court judgments. Debtors who still have jobs will be forced to make payments or risk their wages being seized."#SB211 protects Coloradans, giving them time to recover. #coleg#copolitics https://t.co/Usu4cCXXok
We are just hours away from #SB200 being heard in the House State, Veterans, and Military Affairs🥳 Before we pull out the confetti, what exactly will the CO Secure Savings Plan do? #coleg#copolitics
We are working to make ends meet in these uncertain times. Hardworking Coloradans deserve a retirement option that will support them whether they are in school, working part time, or working multiple jobs. #SB200 gives CO a boost when the economy is hit hardest.#coleg#copolitics
A statewide secure savings program is the helping hand Coloradans need to:
🏔️ Increase Savings
🏔️ Boost Financial Independence
🏔️ Support Small Businesses
As our state rebuilds, it’s time to secure the future of hardworking Coloradans #SB200#coleg

Colorado students may be unable to receive any type of relief under @BetsyDeVosED's new borrower defense rule. @SenCoryGardner must #DefendStudents & support the resolution of disapproval. https://t.co/mtandlplfO
Today, our Colorado team joined Oregon Treasurer @TobiasRead in Denver to learn about how @ORSaves is helping fix the retirement savings crisis for small businesses in OR and how a Secure Savings Program would do the same in CO! #SecureOurSavings#copolitics
Coloradans working in low-wage jobs and for small businesses are hit the hardest by lack of access to workplace retirement plans. Their hard work deserves better. Sign the petition to #SecureOurSavings: https://t.co/4RUojDJp6K #copolitics#coleg
