Influencer Coalition Atlanta and NAACP Team Up for Empowerment Campaign #BankBlack

ATLANTA - July 13, 2016 - PRLog -- In response to recent tragedies that have taken place in the black community, the Influencer Coalition Atlanta and the NAACP have teamed up to promote a tangible solution to strengthen African American communities. #BankBlack is an economic initiative encouraging people of color to place their money in institutions that support their community and its economic development.

The Influencer Coalition and the NAACP agree that economic strength is vital to the black community's ability to influence policy and legislation that protects black lives. "The buying power of the black community is the greatest asset we have in the effort to dismantle the institutional racism that plagues our country. A strong economic infrastructure supports black owned business, creates jobs and sustains our ability to leverage resources for social change," comments Christine White, President of Influencer Coalition.

Citizens Trust Bank is one of the last remaining black owned banks in the country. Since its inception in 1921, Citizens Trust Bank has been a vital part of the African American community's economic ecosystem. Founded with a mission to be a catalyst for financial empowerment, Citizens Trust Bank prides itself on promoting financial stability and business growth and development. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Citizens Trust Bank provides a wide variety of online and traditional banking services including home loans, investment accounts, insurance and commercial lending.

The Influencer Coalition (icATL) is composed of a group of entrepreneurs who organized to inform, empower and activate African-American and underserved communities to affect positive change.

Empowered by the tagline, 'Our Money, Our Power, Our Politics', the Influencer Coalition (icATL) was created as a membership-based organization targeting Gen-X, Gen-Y and Millennials who do not feel represented by the modern political system.
