The trillion dollar “Wall Street/ Main Street” discussion is back in the spotlight. Your action for equitable treatment is required.
Multi trillion dollar home loan giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE), would be BANKRUPT and EXTINCT if not for the 2008 BAIL OUT and subsequent rescue by the US taxpayers as a response to the 2008 world financial crisis.
Talk is now increasing about removing the GSE conservatorship protection. Plenty of government and private organizations from the United States Congress to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, the Independent Community Bankers of America to Moelis & Company are making proposals. This removal would let investor stockholders have access to possible profit gains and it would also remove financial responsibility from the taxpayer.
The Urban Financial Services Coalition (UFSC) is concerned that not only the stock investors and industry be given proper treatment, but that the communities of color that have lost trillions of dollars (CBS News June, 2013) in home ownership be given proper consideration.

If service to a mission or cause is a measure of success, the Urban Financial Services Coalition’s new president Debra Bronston may require a new measurement scale. Her modesty sometimes inhibits her from sharing her many accomplishments that include receiving the Martin Luther King Drum Major for Service Award issued by President Barack Obama, being only the second person in her 5 maternal family generations since slavery to finish college and becoming the first African American to hold an official position at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City where she worked for 31 years.
As others like her, Ms. Bronston has faced obstacles in her career pursuits and efforts to empower communities. However, she managed to rise to the top and become the SHERO she is. No cape required; her only super powers are persistence, focus, dedication and quality. Mediocrity is not included in her vocabulary.
