At a time when it’s become more and more obvious that the stock market is detached from the reality of working families’ lives, Gensler will not hesitate to hold Wall Street accountable. https://t.co/kPnYRACZDu — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to Gary Gensler on his confirmation to lead the SEC. Markets shouldn't be a game for Wall Street hedge funds – they're where workers and families save and invest. Gensler will bring the SEC’s focus back to the people who make this country work. https://t.co/l0KaCYjRcG — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Rothstein of @NAACP_LDF called for bold action. Congress must invest in housing equity and affordability to address the root causes of inequality. https://t.co/O6EctPFvpo — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Reece of @OhioState noted that discriminatory housing policies impact not only communities' access to housing – but also their health and ability to build wealth. https://t.co/Ndf1wCbx7A — PolitiTweet.org

At yesterday’s @SenateBanking and Housing hearing, we heard from experts on the legacy of racial discrimination in our housing system. @ItsLisaRice of @natfairhouse highlighted that historic policies intentionally discriminated against communities of color. https://t.co/rsp2xohI6O — PolitiTweet.org

53 years ago – after decades of redlining, the Black Codes, and Jim Crow – Congress finally made it illegal to refuse to sell a home or rent an apartment to someone based on their race. We can't change our history. But we can build a far better future. #FairHousingMonth https://t.co/z8ptHKGHgz — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorWarnock highlights how lenders and the appraisal market consistently UNDERVALUE homes in Black neighborhoods, contributing to the racial wealth gap. https://t.co/IBaCdjstGn — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@ChrisVanHollen notes how even so-called "race neutral" policies continue to harm communities of color. Baltimore's Red Line – which would've connected Black residents to jobs and housing – was cancelled. Instead, the investment went to predominantly white communities. https://t.co/CX9FNlIPBo — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenTinaSmith on how many local zoning laws were created to racially segregate neighborhoods – even after Congress outlawed overt housing discrimination: https://t.co/mZrFN7JAzy — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@MarkWarner: Homeownership is one of the biggest indicators of wealth in this country. But the pre-pandemic ratio of white homeownership to Black homeownership was roughly 10 to 1 – and the numbers could be even worse now. https://t.co/bTWbaNhwBN — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@SenatorMenendez & Jason Reece of @OhioState: As Congress considers an infrastructure package, we have an opportunity to address racial disparities and expand access to affordable housing and economic opportunity – by investing in housing and transit in low-income communities. https://t.co/PJWwV1f82N — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@SenJackReed: When it comes to addressing housing discrimination, will the private sector - on its own - produce the most efficient and fairest outcome? @ItsLisaRice: Honestly, the answer is no - and we've seen this throughout history. https://t.co/k3QJUWz2Z4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@SenSherrodBrown and @ItsLisaRice: Our past infrastructure investments drove economic growth, but also explicitly excluded or negatively impacted communities of color. New investments in infrastructure must address economic and racial inequities. https://t.co/8mcKk0QV40 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Banking and Housing Democrats @SenateBanking

.@ItsLisaRice, President of @natfairhouse: 'This country has spent hundreds of trillions of dollars implementing unfair policies, which created deep-seated racial inequality. It's imperative that the federal government now support equitable investments for marginalized groups.' https://t.co/aPL653Gn8W — PolitiTweet.org

Homeownership is out of reach. Renters are overburdened by costs. Wages are inadequate for housing. Housing infrastructure is neglected. These issues remain at the core of our nation's inequality. Bold federal action is long overdue. - Richard Rothstein https://t.co/PLcX6AmJUf — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSherrodBrown: 'Come to my zip code, 44105, where we had the most foreclosures in the first half of 2007. In these same neighborhoods, you’ll find higher rates of lead exposure, toxic pollution & infant mortality. Our past is still determining people’s lives today.' https://t.co/Am66L57jBv — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. We’ve made important progress since then, but too much of our housing remains separate and unequal. This Committee is focused on housing more than ever – and we're treating it like the civil rights issue that it is. https://t.co/Evzt4ZEVwH — PolitiTweet.org
