Urge your Senator to support CDFIs through the Stimulus Bill!

________________________________



Today at noon, the Senate will vote on their version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. Thanks to your hundreds of letters over the past few weeks, this stimulus legislation includes $250 million for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).  

We still need your help to ensure that it remains in the legislation as it continues to move through Congress.

Please join us in asking your Senators to support CDFIs through the Stimulus Bill by sending them a letter. <http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Q4VwZdvQJAzazfDL3AlypQoZ3d0souCu>   We have provided a suggested letter below. Please take a few minutes to personalize your message by adding information about the challenges facing your organization and how this program will help your community.  With your help we are moving closer to securing valuable resources to those who have suffered the most from this current financial crisis.

It only takes a minute to fill out your address and push send! You can take action by clicking here. <http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZQxoldCiMm642A1u8euy3woZ3d0souCu>  

Consider forwarding this Action Alert to your friends and colleagues - with each letter we send, we improve the chance of increased funding for CDFIs.

Thank you,

CDFI Coalition
