Payday Loans, Panama Papers and Poverty
Why the fight to end extreme poverty is global, local and winnable
Keynote Speaker: Andrew Hanauer,
Campaigns Director at Jubilee USA in Washington, D.C.
We can heal our broken economy and build strong, safe and prosperous communities. Learn how predatory financial behavior from the East Bay to East Africa harms people and communities and what we can do about it.
Workshops will discuss predatory payday loans, anonymous shell companies, and how East Bay organizations, congregations and individuals can help stop the damage they do in our local communities.
