@IndivarD@SamarthGuptaMA@ItsMsPortia, Former Interim Executive Director at Color Of Change, on how extreme wealth translates directly into outsized political power. 💰
Stretching a mortgage to half a century doesn’t expand opportunity—it extends vulnerability.
In this week’s #FiresideStacks🔥, @ItsMsPortia breaks down how a “death pledge” is not housing policy for a fair economy.

Homeownership should be more affordable. But stretching a mortgage to 50 years ain’t it.
Check out my latest piece for Roosevelt Forward’s Fireside Stacks:

Looking back on the weekend, more disturbing than those that use #Halloween as an excuse to be racist is how many Black folks are still dressing up as law enforcement smiling…in 2025.
We need to stop normalizing the forces targeting us. Lock in.
In the words of our Interim Executive Director @ItsMsPortia: "Every dollar added to a prison phone call is a policy choice to profit from pain."
The FCC has made it clear that they will continue to burden marginalized people for their own gain. Our communities deserve better.

Redistricting is one of the critical tools that Democratic trifectas can take to stop the erosion of Black political power and prevent the demise of our democracy, as long as they have the courage to answer the call.
[OP-ED] History tells us that moments of great democratic crisis don’t ask us to recite our values louder. They ask us to risk them, to test them, and to adapt them. Today is one of those moments, and that’s why courage is the word of the hour.

In her latest op-ed with NewsOne, @ItsMsPortia Portia Allen-Kyle, Color Of Change’s Interim Executive Director, contextualizes the redistricting fight and asserts that it is critical for Democrat states to join the fray.

The @Dodgers pledged $1 million to help families of immigrants impacted by ICE raids across LA. This is a team valued in the billions and that made >$752m in revenue last year, a significant bit as local ticket sales. This is more of a “F you” than “help.” https://t.co/Q0y6KlQKYg
Check out the newest op-ed from our Interim Executive Director @ItsMsPortia with @InsidePhilanthr about the obligation progressive donors have to grassroots orgs as we combat the dangerous reconciliation bill and harmful tax policy. https://t.co/M0WnMfF4dI
Our Interim Executive Director @ItsMsPortia was quoted by @HuffPost for exposing the neo-segregationist agenda imbedded in far-right efforts to erase Black history from American history 🔥 Read here: https://t.co/WmGBos5duZ
It was an honor to join @RepPressley and colleagues on the Hill today with our members of @ColorOfChange standing against the tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of our families and communities. We are more than a line item. #cutthegreednotthepeople
There is nothing big or beautiful about making people sicker, poorer, or more vulnerable.
I’m joining @ColorOfChange to call out Republicans’ budget sham that guts Medicaid & SNAP to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires.

Our members are standing up to let Congress know that we are more than a line item…and that they need to cut the greed, not services for the people.
If you’re in the DC area, join @ColorOfChange on Tuesday 5/20!

It’s 10:55pm and the House Budget Cmte just voted to advance the largest cuts to our social safety net our nation has ever seen.
This cruelty is exactly why @ColorOfChange is heading to the Hill on 5/20 to stand up against the greed, theft, and corruption targeting our families.
I showed up to hear my disgrace of a congressman @RepMikeLawler. After being forced to park a 15m walk away because police blocked the parking lot, I was turned away at the door because of a “no purse” policy. Needless to say mostly white men entered, many women left out.
We don’t need trillionaires.
We need a tax system that protects democratic power and puts public investment first.
In #FiresideStacks🔥 @ItsMsPortia lays out how to stop the rise of trillionaires—and start building shared prosperity. https://t.co/8Oc5BNYimM
Shared some thoughts on #SaquonBarkley and his golf outing in this moment. TLDR: not the move, but accountability shouldn’t stop there. Check it out: https://t.co/20yqmiEEN3
Democracy cannot thrive in conditions of extreme wealth and inequality. Our tax code is a tool to rebalance power and redistribute wealth in society. We need to fight against policies that instead will create trillionaires instead of meeting the needs of workers and families
