Faith institutions are property & land owners. Black churches - reliant on Sunday donations - will be devastated by COVID-19 closures w/o assistance in the stimulus bill. At the end of this pandemic, we may see a massive loss of Black property w/o direct support in the stimulus.
This property loss will accelerate the pace of Black land loss & will leave many of our communities more vulnerable to gentrification. Faith institutions needs a mortgage freeze during the course of the pandemic closures. COVID-19
Good to see the @amechurch step up boldly and demand that Congress support non-profit institutions as they plan to disperse hundreds of millions to airlines, hotels, & cruise ship companies. d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20200323/d8/52…
It's critical for Black communities to project a year from now and think about how to protect Black homeownership and property ownership from the potentially devastating consequences of this pandemic, and demand support in this stimulus bill. #COVID19
