EPI joined our partners, Payday Coalition (HTs to The Mighty Margaux Morriseau!), + courageous spokesperson Jessica Vega, in canvassing Senators + Reps on the chamber floors to support a bill to halt predatory payday lending in RI. 👏👏👏sponsors Ana B. Quezada + @RepKaren60!

"Sharks belong in the ocean! They shouldn't be giving out loans!"
