The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) will host a townhall tonight (8pm - 9:15pm ET) on our Facebook Live entitled: COVID-19 Financial Services Relief & The Black Community. It will be moderated by April Ryan, with special guest comments from Chairwoman Maxine Waters.

Panelists will include Kim Saunders (National Bankers Association), Lisa Rice (National Fair Housing Alliance), as well as CRL's Nikitra Bailey and Ashley Harrington. Sherrilyn Ifill (NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund) will provide closing remarks.

COVID-19 disproportionately impacts Black Americans due to structural inequality and lack of access to safe and responsible financial services. Learn how recent legislative responses impact business owners, homeowners, and student loan borrowers in Black America. Discuss federal relief measures and needed advocacy to ensure Black communities get their fair share.
