Strategic Advocacy
Our dedicated Financial Coaches achieve real results for our clients, working to reduce their debt burden and increase their savings, while leveraging behavioral economics to ensure their long term financial health. However, our direct services can only accomplish so much in the face of structural forces reinforcing today’s worker financial distress. This is where our Strategic Advocacy Initiative comes in.
All across the United States, workers are increasingly vulnerable, as having a job no longer equates to financial security or even stability. In response, we have launched a Strategic Advocacy Initiative to more purposefully surface and distill our data, stories, and expert insights as evidence of the perils of income inequality and financial insecurity; and to influence policies, business practices, products, and services to improve workers’ financial health.
