Code for Progress is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that focuses on addressing the intersection of technology and social justice. They empower individuals impacted by predatory debt practices by providing technical training and support, and work to counter the weaponization of the court systems by debt aggregators.
Through their efforts, Code for Progress aims to challenge the systemic factors that lead to debt accumulation, such as the lack of a social safety net, and advocate for fair and just practices in the debt collection process. By contacting and informing defendants of their rights and connecting them with legal aid resources, they strive to increase complaint responses and reduce the burden of debt on affected households.
