As COVID-19 continues to ravage the health and economic security of millions of Americans,
it is critically important to evaluate the relief efforts offered by financial institutions. And at this
time, when our nation is confronted with the reality of its historic and systemic racism, it is
crucial that we evaluate such relief efforts with a racial equity lens.
