#BankBlack
Black-owned banks do more than hold our money. They help us build our future. Despite centuries of systemic racism and economic barriers, these institutions have continued to invest in our communities, offering fair loans, supporting small businesses, and creating pathways to homeownership. They promote financial literacy, nurture Black entrepreneurship, and keep resources circulating within our neighborhoods. When we bank Black, we're not only closing the racial wealth gap, but we're also building collective power and affirming that financial justice is central to our liberation.
City First Bank (CA & DC)
