Saluting Sen. Edward Brooke's contributions during #BHM2026. His strong bipartisan leadership with Sen. Walter Mondale was critical to passage of the #FairHousingAct of 1968. The #FHAct is vital to ensuring that all people can live and thrive in vibrant, inclusive communities.✊🏾
While millions of everyday people throughout the nation are in the throes of a fair and affordable housing crisis, struggling to pay rent or afford a home. President Trump called this the "golden age of America." #SOTU2026
"We must enforce laws against racial discrimination. We must greenline the redline zones and zip coded zones and use Government-private partnerships to break this pattern. We must see the underserved markets as an opportunity for growth and development rather than exploitation..." -Rev. Jackson
President and First Lady Obama are the epitome of public servants. The racist vitriol direct at them is also showing up in our schools. Our children are being attacked by similar actions and statements. As Dr. King stated there comes a time when silence is betrayal.
“The President’s unlawful attempt to remove Governor Cook is a distraction at a time when Americans are demanding action in response to the country’s worsening fair and affordable housing crisis,” said Nikitra Bailey, NFHA Executive Vice President. Read: nationalfairhousing.org/nfha-stands-...

I don’t boo. I VOTE! Municipal and county elections greatly impact the quality of our daily lives. Hope you will cast your ballot today, if you didn’t during the early voting period. Lives, blood, sweat, and tears were sacrificed for us to have the ability to vote. #Grateful

2. Signed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) into law requiring financial institutions to meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. The CRA was intended to serve as a tool to address disparities in credit access in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.
1. Issued Executive Order 12259, “Leadership and Coordination of Fair Housing Programs," requiring the head of each executive agency to ensure that its housing and community development programs and activities are administered in a manner to affirmatively further the goal of fair housing.
President Jimmy Carter’s vast accomplishments include significant actions to advance civil rights and deliver on the promise of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). He led the nation in two transformative actions among many others:
AAG Kristen Clarke of the @thejusticedepart.bsky.social stated, "we will not enforce our way out of modern day redlining," and CFPB Director Chopra noted, "there are not always going to be receipts for discrimination" during today's #ECOA@50 discussion with @itslisarice.bsky.social.
Join the @natfairhouse.bsky.social as we commemorate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act at 50. The landmark law made it possible for women, people of color, and others to equitably access credit and is key to closing racial wealth gaps. Fair lending is in all of our best interest.
