Tzedek DC
Caitlyn Hickman's Company Details
Tzedek DC's mission is to safeguard the legal rights of low-income DC residents dealing with often unjust, abusive, and illegal debt collection practices, as well as other consumer protection problems like credit reporting issues, identity theft, and predatory lending. The consequences of adverse court judgments in debt-related cases can be devastating for a family's well-being and stability. Therefore, drawing upon a central tenet of Jewish teachings – "Tzedek, tzedek tirdof," or "Justice, justice we shall pursue," – Tzedek DC aims to level the playing field for low-income DC debtors by facilitating access to the civil justice system. By addressing debt-related legal issues before they become irreversible, catastrophic crises, Tzedek DC can enhance the overall stability and financial health of low-income DC families.
