Drawing on original data from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project, a landmark long-term study, “Debt’s Grip” uses the words of bankruptcy filers themselves to shed light on their financial battles, making a powerful case for the U.S. to confront the structural inequities that cause so many to struggle. Join us for a panel discussion featuring bankruptcy experts and commentary from the authors. Free and open to the public, with lunch provided.
