Appleseed Centers celebrate new judicial rulings affirming the importance of an inclusive and complete census count

9/14/2020

 
Dear Friends,

An inclusive and complete census is essential for the communities Appleseed serves, and today we are celebrating two recent judicial decisions.  

Last week, a federal court ruled that President Trump’s order to exclude undocumented immigrants from population counts used in reapportionment is unconstitutional. That decision follows a separate federal judge’s temporary restraining order that the Census Bureau must stop trying to wind down its collection process until a court hearing is held on September 17th.

Appleseed Centers in South Carolina, Kansas, and Nebraska are working hard to overcome the barriers caused by the unconstitutional orders from the administration to make sure everyone is counted. These judicial decisions are key affirmations that immigrants are important members of our communities.


Sincerely,

Sarah Pacilio
Appleseed Network Manager

Appleseed Centers speak out against predatory lending proposal

9/9/2020

 
​Dear Friends,

Last week, Appleseed Centers in Texas, Nebraska, and New Jersey submitted a joint comment letter to the US Comptroller of the Currency to speak out against a recently proposed rule. As the letter documents, the proposed rule would allow predatory lenders to escape rate cap laws, as well as liability for violations of federal and state consumer protection laws, by participating in “rent-a-bank” schemes. Borrowers can get trapped in these predatory loans, often paying extremely high interest rates and taking on more and more loans to extend the interest payments.

Please click here to read the letter from Texas, Nebraska, and New Jersey Appleseed, which was prepared with the pro bono assistance of Fish & Richardson P.C.
 
Sincerely,
Sarah Pacilio
Appleseed Network Manager
