NCRC TO HOLD DECEMBER 15 WEBINAR ON REDLINING AND THE CRA
The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) with the civil rights firm Relman Colfax PLLC will hold a free webinar entitled "CRA and Race: How can the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) be updated to directly examine race and better combat redlining?"
The webinar will be held on Wednesday, December 15 at 1:00 pm ET. Register now.
The Community Reinvestment Act was enacted to ensure much-needed investment and capital makes it to low- and moderate-income communities. But NCRC's research has shown that the majority of communities that were redlined in the 20th Century are still lower-income and also predominantly communities of color. Redlining was a practice rooted in racism, and the only way to combat and reverse the impact of redlining is to address race directly.
Recently, NCRC and Relman Colfax PLLC have released a report calling on federal regulators to add race to the scope of CRA and finally hold banks accountable to the communities they serve.
NCRC and Relman Colfax are teaming up again to host the upcoming webinar, CRA and Race: How can the Community Reinvestment Act be updated to directly examine race and better combat redlining?
Speakers include: (1) Dedrick Asante Muhammad, Chief of Membership, Policy & Equity, NCRC; (2) Brad Blower, General Counsel, NCRC; and (3) Glenn Schlactus, Partner, Relman Colfax PLLC.
Register now to make sure you don’t miss this important discussion with NCRC leadership and the authors of the report.
