[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is a little-known but
incredibly powerful office in our federal government. It decides which
companies can bank in the United States and sets standards for banks'
activities in our poor and minority communities.

Right now, President Biden is in the process of naming someone to lead the
OCC. He's likely to nominate Michael Barr — a former Obama administration
official who has deep ties to the exploitative powers of fintech and
cryptocurrency — over Mehrsa Baradaran, a banking law professor who
supports reparations, postal banking, and is an expert on the racial
wealth gap.

John. Will you join us and add
your name to our petition insisting that Biden nominate Mehrsa Baradaran
for the Comptroller of the Currency over Michael Barr?

Putting Baradaran in charge would be a start to enacting much-needed
systemic change in our nation. Her nomination would mean more than just
healing from the last four years.

The OCC is an agency that historically let predatory lending flourish
around the country, causing systemic harm to Black, brown, and Native
American communities. This won't end with the Biden administration —
especially if we pick someone like Michael Barr.

Progressives everywhere are pushing for Baradaran's appointment because we
understand how important it is to have someone who can meet the urgency of
the moment and address issues that, once solved, can provide much-needed
financial security and healing to our communities.

[ [link removed] ]This is yet another opportunity for us to keep the pressure on
President Biden. Add your name to our petition and send a message that we
must nominate Mehrsa Baradaran as Comptroller of the Currency.

Thanks for taking action,

Team Bowman
