6/7 This has been a key priority for my constituents as well as consumer advocates, civil rights leaders, and religious organizations. Studies show it’s already keeping people out of debt traps. — PolitiTweet.org

5/7 In my state of IL, Gov. Pritzker signed an interest rate cap bill into law. But we need a national standard to protect consumers from getting trapped by mountains of debt they can’t repay. — PolitiTweet.org

4/7 A study in Houston found that payday and title-lending websites featured Latinos in more than 30% of their pictures, even though Latinos make up only 20% of their customers in Texas. But nearly 75% of mainstream banks did NOT feature a single picture of a Latino individual. — PolitiTweet.org

3/7 And these lenders target hard-working Black and Brown communities. They know we’re not paid what we’re worth. They know we don’t have as much access to credit. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

2/7 Wages simply aren’t keeping up with the cost of living. And all too often, working class families take out loans with double or triple-digit interest rates to pay for the necessities of life which puts them in a cycle of debt they can’t repay. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

1/7 Why do we need to extend the Military's 36% interest rate caps? Predatory lenders trap working class people in a cycle of debt, and these lenders focus on Black and Brown communities like mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

This morning at 10:00 am ET I'll be testifying before @SenateBanking , sharing why working class families in my district need us to pass the Veterans and Consumers Fair Trade Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I met with this group from @LaColmenaNYC who came to urge Congress to include a path to citizenship in the budget reconciliation. These are some of the essential workers who’ve kept our country moving during the pandemic. We owe it to them. https://t.co/AZcBefLVap — PolitiTweet.org

The US has no business preventing Cuban-Americans from sending life-saving remittances to their families. We must end our blockade against Cuba, and restoring remittances is an important first step. https://t.co/CxpmToZIoW — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The path to higher education shouldn’t become the path to unpayable debt. We can’t keep burdening students with exponentially high loans. I joined this letter 👇to ask @POTUS to extend the pause on student loan payments and #CancelStudentDebt. — PolitiTweet.org

My colleague @RepLouCorrea said it very clear: "I will NOT support any budget reconciliation deal that continues to leave hard-working undocumented taxpayers in limbo." — PolitiTweet.org
