About this Petition Petition Letter

Over the last thirty years, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) has helped millions of people and small businesses get loans.

But if CRA had covered even more lenders, we could have avoided such widespread economic collapse.

Now, Congress is considering modernizing and expanding CRA, and they need to hear from you.

Tell your members in Congress how has the economic crisis has impacted YOU, and that CRA should be expanded to prevent future meltdowns.  Have you lost your home, your job, your savings, or your home equity?  Tell your story below!

Expand and Modernize the Community Reinvestment Act

Greetings,

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) has helped millions of consumers over the last thirty years but if it was even stronger and covered more lenders, the economic collapse wouldn't have been so drastic or could have been avoided altogether.

Please expand and modernize CRA to cover more lenders to protect communities and borrowers like me.

[Your name]
