Though Congress passed the Fair Housing Act more than 50 years ago, we still have a lot of work to do to fulfill its promise. We're working to invest in Black neighborhoods and end discrimination in refinancing, appraisals, and throughout our housing system. — PolitiTweet.org

During the pandemic, homeowners refinanced at record rates to save money – but Wells Fargo denied more Black applicants than they accepted. We can't close the racial wealth gap if Black homeowners are denied the opportunity to lower their housing costs. https://t.co/vWwTaQ7Tiu — PolitiTweet.org

Because companies hide forced arbitration clauses in pages and pages of confusing legalese, most consumers have no idea they've signed away their rights. Prof. Gilles lays out why we need to #EndForcedArbitration: https://t.co/ROvzqkELOT — PolitiTweet.org

Chances are, you've had to sign away your rights when opening a bank account, getting a credit card, or buying a cell phone. Why we should ban forced arbitration to give consumers back their rights ⬇️ https://t.co/efbTVDsXYc — PolitiTweet.org

When corporations take consumers to arbitration, they rig the game so corporations win 93% of the time. The Arbitration Fairness for Consumers Act would give consumers the right to decide how they want to pursue justice – it would give them a fighting chance. https://t.co/IoXCvu6uV8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

It's time we ban these clauses so consumers can choose how to pursue justice – instead of being forced into closed door arbitration proceedings that rarely turn out well for them. Chair @SenSherrodBrown has introduced a bill to do just that: https://t.co/r03zMArOdz — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

If you've ever signed up for a bank account or credit card, you probably had to sign away your rights with a forced arbitration clause. These clauses let big companies hide from accountability, silence their victims, and give more power to Wall Street over workers and families. https://t.co/UHPW6KS4yW — PolitiTweet.org

You heard @POTUS. The Federal Reserve plays a critical role in fighting inflation. It’s time to confirm the #FedFiveNow. #SOTU https://t.co/gm4YGQB4J6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

As we deal with the first land war in Europe since World War II, as we confront inflation, and as we emerge from a global pandemic, we need a full Federal Reserve board – the first one in nearly a decade. #FedFiveNow https://t.co/DAU0DClavl — PolitiTweet.org

A medical emergency should never bankrupt a family. Health care costs remain too high, and patients are stuck holding millions in debt while having to navigate opaque and convoluted bills from providers and insurance companies. https://t.co/r6TVlFGCvf — PolitiTweet.org

To help Black families build wealth, we must lower the cost of housing, close the racial homeownership gap, and crack down on discriminatory home appraisals. @JECDems and @TheBlackCaucus are out with a new report highlighting stark homeownership and wealth gaps. #JECxCBC — PolitiTweet.org
