The Banking Commission and Muslim New Yorkers

The banking commission heard testimony from Muslim New Yorkers who experienced discrimination in the process of opening and closing accounts. Tenants expressed concerns about predatory lending practices by banks that jeopardize their rights and safe-leaving conditions. Crime and advocates condemn banks that have continued to lend billions of dollars for fossil fuel expansion despite having made net zero commitments. Members of the public spoke in favor of creating a public bank, apublic bank, a bank run by the city of New York,. That would provide banking services for city deposits and deploy that capital to better serve New York communities. This is how they treat their banks. All right. So we managed to get to those fast.
