Building on a vision that began in 1971, Consumers Council of Missouri works to build a more inclusive and equitable region through advocacy, coalition building, collaboration, and community education. We work hard to reduce what communities that have long been the target of structural oppression spend on basic energy. We challenge gas, electric, water, and sewer rate increases, and work to maintain and expand customer assistance programs. In partnership with collaborators, Consumers Council also challenges banks to meet the credit needs of the neighborhoods in which they do business. We urge them to create products to increase banking opportunities, home ownership, and home maintenance loan options for consumers who are low- and moderate-income.
