Before the PLPA, #predatorylending stripped billions of dollars from IL residents in high interest rates and fees, with an emphasis on Black communities.
Imagine if these communities had access to affordable lending products that helped build wealth instead?

[New America Chicago @NewAmericaChi]

As always, thank you @ChiTrust for allowing us to host in your space and for your commitment to eliminating the racial and ethnic #wealthgap
