State Legislative Advocacy
In state capitals, lawmakers and local advocates are fighting for stronger laws to protect borrowers.
As dysfunction and corruption grips Washington, borrowers depend on state lawmakers to step into the breach and protect them from mismanagement and abuse by financial firms. Each year, states across the country pass new laws that protect borrowers from emerging risks and strengthen the state laws that ensure families are treated fairly across the economy. These laws can have an immediate effect in communities across the country, and serve as models for national policy change.
What We’re Doing
We support state and local partners that work in state capitals, fighting for stronger state laws to protect borrowers. We develop model state legislation, produce new research that spotlights how industry abuses harm families in states and communities across the country, testify in legislative hearings, and support organizations fighting for change.
