Resolution on Predatory Lending Practices
Year Adopted:
Borrowing money can make it possible to secure a home or a car or to escape poverty. Ideally, everyone would have access to credit and loans, regardless of income, citizenship, or race.

Background
URJ Resolution on Filibuster Reform
Year Adopted:
In modern times, a healthy democracy requires the constant balancing of majority and minority rights and voices. In the American political tradition, the Senate filibuster, which requires 60 votes to overcome (known as “invoking cloture” to force a vote), has been characterized as a means of ensuring the minority’s voice is heard in the Senate. In theory, it may also promote deliberation, bipartisanship, and compromise.
