Advocate for expansion of the MA Rental Voucher Program! 585,000 households meet existing criteria, yet 335,000 of them are currently unserved. ~reduce homelessness ~address racial inequities ~alleviate poverty ~improve housing stability
Rental assistance is how we get rents down to levels people can afford. Now is the time. Let’s get rental assistance to everyone who needs it. When everyone has a home they can afford, our communities are strong & healthy. bostonglobe.com/2022/12/14/opi… via @BostonGlobe

Critical race theory literally explains why Great Replacement Theory exists, but now just days after a white supremacist massacre the same people who created an entire book-banning hysteria around CRT are justifying and promoting GRT. Absolutely shameless. Absolutely shameful.
I can't stop thinking about Buffalo. Some will see it as a isolated event. It is not. It is pervasive in America. White Supremacy exists in housing, employment, education, healthcare & the criminal legal system. The difference is the killings just don't occur as quickly. Buffalo
To all these low-life grifters pushing the idea that white people are endangered and being phased out of society. I hope you all realize you are complicit in the people murdered today in Buffalo. Fuck. You.
18 years old and writing about white genocide before he went out to massacre Black folks buying groceries. But tell me again how we don’t need antiracism education in schools.
I keep watching the coverage of this horrific shooting. All of the bystanders are Black. All the police are white. The suspect is white & apprehended alive. I'm not advocating for his killing but I'm advocating for police to stop killing Black people. If they can take him alive..
The only way you could claim meritocracy is if we had equality at the K12 level and we do not,
You won't want to miss these events we're co-sponsoring next week. Be sure to RSVP.
Y’all really think “people are moving here, let’s build housing to match the increase” is some diabolical plot when IT’S JUST MATH.
Looking forward to this!

I spent the past several months doing a deep dive into mortgage lending disparities in Boston, and examining the promise of homeownership (with @ManyAdrians & @ssdatar). The project rolls out this week. I hope you'll listen/read. Here's part 1 (of 3): wbur.fm/3NqKH0a
We need to create 200,000 more homes across income levels by 2030 to keep up with demand and so people have affordable options in communities of their choice. A diverse mix of homes in every part of Massachusetts plants the seeds of our long-term success.
