A call for fair and equal access to financial services

(NNPA)—On Aug. 1, the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization began a journey that will cover 860 miles and last 40 days and 40 nights. Once completed, the NAACP-sponsored America’s Journey for Justice will have trekked across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia before reaching its culminating stop in mid-September in our nation’s capital.
The Center for Responsible Lending is joining in this multi-state march, adding its voice and influence to oppose financial injustices that people of color so often experience. CRL has already shared specific concerns with mortgage lending and student loans—two of the issues its champions in state houses and on Capitol Hill.
