BLEXIT

Organizing economic resistance towards financial renaissance in response to systems of oppression

[BLEXIT @blexitmn]

A political organization, not affiliated with Blexit, has recently started using the name "Blexit" without our permission. Unfortunately, this is causing confusion we are working to promptly resolve. Read our clarifying statement here: https://t.co/3PjqsR92Sa

This morning we were approved by the Minnesota Department of Commerce as a Chartered Credit Union! We dedicate this moment to Valerie Castile and all of the mothers who have lost their loved ones to the violent systems meant to silence and destroy us.

It doesn’t matter how many Black people get elected if Black people continue to be economically repressed.

At Village, we offer the New Day loan as an alternative option to the predatory practices of payday lenders. Seeking policy changes to this practice is another way to activate legislation in putting an end to high interest rates that regurgitate the cycle of poverty.

[Village Financial Cooperative @villagefincoop]

In Colorado this week a legislation that caps payday loan interest rates at 36% passed with overwhelming support from voters. https://t.co/sDbZlubjON

Conservative pundit @RealCandaceO claims to have started the #Blexit movement. But she's actually stolen the namesake from a grassroots org founded in 2016, which works to build economic and financial autonomy in the African-American community.

The REAL #Blexit has nothing to do with any political parties; it's about education and creating avenues to protect African-Americans from predatory financial practices like payday loans, says founder @Meleaofmpls.

@BLEXIT Looks like the fake #BLEXIT movement is as tired as its fraudulent founder. If you want to see true activism, check out #therealblexit

I stand corrected... #TheRealBlexit is up my alley. Not cool to hijack for political shenanigans.

[BLEXIT @blexitmn]

In July of 2016 after the murder of Philando Castile our community responded with Blexit as a movement for economic activism.
