After the murder of George Floyd, five of the largest banks in America –
JP Morgan, Citi Bank, Wells Fargo, US Bank, and Bank of America – all
pledged to do more to advance racial equity.

Historically, banks have been lead actors in the creation and continuation
of the racial wealth gap, from inhibiting equitable access to credit, to
diminishing access to everyday banking services in communities of color.

So Ayanna is holding them accountable to their commitment to change their
practices. This week, she sent a letter to the CEOs of these five banks,
demanding transparency and detailed financial reports on the concrete
steps they have (or have not) taken on their pledges to advance racial
justice.

Black people throughout history have been denied opportunities to grow
wealth and achieve financial prosperity. The harm was very precise. And so
the work of restorative justice, of racial justice, of justice for Black
Americans, has to be just as precise.

Ayanna is committed to the intersecting work of economic justice and
racial justice and she will always demand
accountability.
