Graphic design students at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) have
created posters on predatory lending as part of their senior seminar
class. The posters were designed in order to stimulate a discussion on
payday, car title and other types of predatory loans. Jay Speer,
Executive Director of the Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC), and Dana
Wiggins, Coordinator for the Virginia Partnership to Encourage
Responsible Lending (VaPERL), provided the students with information and
the many issues that arise from these types of loans. Laura Chessin, an
Associate Professor at VCU’s Graphic Design Department, teaches the
senior seminar class and oversaw the project.The public is invited to come see these posters on Friday, December 4th
from 6-8 p.m. at Main Street Gallery on 1509 W. Main St. in Richmond.
The free viewing is an opportunity for people to not only see the work
done by these students, but to also engage in a dialogue on predatory
lending in Virginia.Please contact Urmila Oberoi at 804-782-9430 x15 or urmila@vplc.org to
find out more about the poster viewing on December 4th.

What is May Day?
May Day! International Workers Day! Our day to recognize and appreciate the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The struggle began in 1884 when the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions passed a resolution that would enact an eight-hour workday beginning on May 1, 1886. On May 4th, 1886 during a general strike for the eight hour day in Chicago, police fired on strikers and killed a dozen people in what has become known as the Haymarket Massacre. In 1890, Labor activists, Leftists, Socialists and Anarchists began celebrating May 1 as the International Worker’s Holiday to achieve “…the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, the class demands of the proletariat, and universal peace.”
