John,
We did it! After two years of continuously working with America’s biggest
banks, we got Capital One and Citigroup to agree to eliminate all
overdraft fees. Others—like Bank of America, Chase, and PNC—have either
reduced or created accounts free of punitive fees. Through direct
meetings, petition signatures and storytelling as part of our Beyond the
Statement campaign, we showed banks the disproportionate impact overdraft
fees have on Black people. Although more needs to be done, these efforts
support sound banking for our communities. Members like you are the
reason why banks are finally taking us seriously on racial justice.

Black people are more likely to pay higher banking fees than white people.
We are demanding that cash go back into the pockets of Black people and
others harmed by the absence of sound banking. We only have the power to
move these big banks because of your dedication. But the fight isn’t over
until all major banks agree to eliminate overdraft fees. John,
will you continue to support our economic justice work by pitching in $5
today?

With your help, we can continue to advocate for more financial policies
that support Black people. As we continue to demand that corporations move
Beyond the Statement, and center Black people in discussions of economic
justice, your donation helps get us there.

Until justice is real,
