According to a 2016 study by @pewresearch, the top 10% of Asians earn 10.7x more than the bottom 10%– the most unequal income distribution among any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. This gap is the fastest growing among any minority group. #AAPIHeritageMonth

[Consumer Federation of America @ConsumerFed]

#Trump is scrambling to pass federal rules to help #LoanSharks. @BrianBrooksOCC just issued a proposal that will bless #RentABank schemes (loans of 100% APR and more). @USOCC should rescind this and focus on how to #StopTheDebtTrap and actually help people during #Covid19 crisis.

Incredibly grateful for the opportunities that AmeriCorps enables — we would not be working to end predatory lending without AmeriCorps.
