tribal jurisdiction over those practices. 

 

Please join the call to hear about how you can make a difference!

This week, Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), Chairman of the Senate Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, unveiled his proposal to overhaul
the banking sector.  With millions of families still reeling from the
failure of industry overseers to reign in deceptive lenders and prevent
nationwide foreclosures, now is the time to act.  Communities of color
have been particularly hard hit by a perfect storm of foreclosures and
unemployment, with little relief in sight.  Policymakers need to
understand the devastating impact of reckless lending on our families
and neighborhoods.

 

Join us - the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), National
Council of La Raza, National Urban League, and the National Coalition of
Asian Pacific - for a discussion on how new oversight and consumer
protections can prevent another meltdown in the housing and credit
markets and what you can do to ensure we achieve real reform.  

 

Communities of color demand a financial system that is fair and
accessible, protects consumers, and works to eliminate predatory
financial products.  RSVP now to learn how you can help make it a
reality.

 

Speakers from:

*         National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community
Development

*         National Congress of American Indians

*         National Council of La Raza

*         National Urban League
