2021 National Virtual Black and Latino Economic Summit

Join the National Minority Community Reinvestment Co-Operative (NMCRC) every Tuesday and Thursday from November 2nd to December 7th for our FREE 2021 National Virtual Black and Latino Economic Summit.

Closing the racial wealth gap is imperative to realizing a strong, sustainable economy. From education to housing to healthcare to criminal justice, racial inequality continues to impede the progress of communities of color and the nation as a whole.

This 4-week symposium will empower a growing network of like-minded individuals, companies, and non-profit organizations to unpack a shared vision of eliminating barriers and enhancing access to economic sustainability in Black and Latino communities.

For decades, black and brown communities have been underserved—and sometimes unserved—by the United States’ financial system. From access to banking services to redlining to subprime mortgage lending to the recent disparities in relief for small minority businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, communities of color have historically been disproportionately impacted.

The summit will provide a space for banking institutions and the communities they intend to serve to discuss access to capital, affordable housing, neighborhood development, and community reinvestment for these underserved populations. The agenda will incorporate forums and workshops to inform, educate, and encourage mutually beneficial partnerships among participants, presenters, and sponsors to stimulate economic growth in Black and Latino communities.
