Otting Jelena McWilliams Comptroller of the Currency Chairman Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 400 7th Street, SW 550 17th Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20219 Washington D.C. 20429 Dear Chairman Powell, Comptroller Otting, and Chairman McWilliams: A coalition of mayors representing a cross-section of the United States is writing to express our serious concern about the Office of the Comptroller of Currency’s (OCC) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). As local leaders, we see firsthand how capital flows to certain communities while disinvestment inhibits opportunity in others. For forty years, the Community Reinvestment Act has helped to ensure more equitable credit access to grow small businesses, invest in affordable housing, and expand overall economic output. The CRA was a response to “redlining” that used access to capital as a means to discriminate against people of color, immigrants, and lower-income communities. The effect was a concentration of poverty, a widening of the wealth cap, and the entire United States being farther away from reaching its full potential. Due to CRA requirements, banks have made almost two trillion in community development loans since 1996, according to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. Yet that progress and the flow of capital into disadvantaged communities could be at risk. As mayors, our work to promote economic opportunity is judged by real results, and the Community Reinvestment Act is an essential tool in the fight for equity and prosperity in every community.

President Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

Jorge Juarez, our immediate past chair, did a great job of leading us through the last annual meeting—we had great programs proposed and executed, and the standing committees are continuing to do their great work. You can read more about the activities and events at the 2011 Annual Meeting in this newsletter. I want the SR to continue its vital and important role in the association—including raising the consciousness of the members regarding issues of social justice that affect us all. A recent past chair described the SR to me as “the social conscience of AALL.” With that in mind, and considering the programming offered by the SR and its standing committees, I hope to survey the membership and develop a strategic plan for the SR’s next few years. What do we want our role in the association to continue to be? And more importantly, how will we fulfill that role? When you see questions related to these discussions in your in box, please participate! The book drive for Boston is underway—or at least is beginning to plan.
