The disinvestment by mainstream banks from poor communities has devastated millions of low-income people. In certain neighborhoods, payday loan and check cashing outlets outnumber banks by 10 to 1. They reap billions in profit from the most economically vulnerable communities in the U.S., as well as in the communities that receive remittances from their loved ones here. Learn how communities all over the world are leveraging their power to hold these corporations accountable and organize with a global lens.
