As the co-chair of the Illinois Asset Building Group (IABG), we are the leading voice in Illinois for  asset policies that provide opportunities for less-advantaged individuals and people with low incomes to avoid predatory financial services, accumulate savings, and build assets for long-term financial stability and success. Our work across these issue areas includes examining barriers and solutions to the persistent and growing racial wealth gap.

Our Asset Building Priorities:

• Asset Limit Reform
• Automatic IRAs
• Banking the Un/Underbanked
• Children's Savings Accounts
• Elimination of the Racial Wealth Gap
• Payday Lending Reform & Safe Alternatives
