1 in 5 renters will be at risk of eviction by the end of September.

Tens of millions of people could lose their ability to shelter in place and to practice sufficient hygiene as the nation approaches what’s expected to be a second wave of COVID-19. https://t.co/nRTVw2UKfS

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

We're on the brink of mass evictions in the middle of a pandemic and Congress needs to act. Today, I’m announcing the RELIEF Act to ban:
-evictions;
-foreclosures;
-utility shutoffs;
-rent increases;
-negative credit reporting;
-and expand legal protections for renters.

In the wise words of Martin Luther King Jr., injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We can and must do better #BlackLivesMattters

[Michelle Parker @MJParker202]

This is beyond powerful, especially in our nation’s capital. Many thanks to @MayorBowser for making this big landmark happen #BlackLivesMatter

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

Breonna Taylor, on your birthday, let us stand with determination.

Determination to make America the land it ought to be.

A timely trove of @urbaninstitute policies to protect people and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic including equity, inclusion, fiscal, economic, health, & housing policy.

What effects will COVID-19 have on vulnerable populations? How can we bolster social safety net programs to respond to greater need? What policies can minimize strain on the health care system & best support health care professionals? https://t.co/fmCZeJ7tE8

Mayors have been working hard to help us get through this pandemic, and they’ll have just as big a task to help people through hard times ahead. I spent some time with many of them today to thank them for their efforts, and asked them to keep up the good work.

Not all superheroes wear capes, some wear scrubs. A nurse, former lab tech, and phlebotomist, my mom is my real-life hero. Very proud!

Couldn't agree more. In underserved areas, #CDFIs provide funding to #SmallBusinesses that other FIs don't serve. We have a real opportunity to save businesses if we act now. @AspenInstitute @Aspen_BOI

[The Aspen Institute @AspenInstitute]

Unless there is specific funding for businesses in lower-income areas, the money won’t get there. Read more from @HopeCUbil, Joyce Klein, and @timothyogden: https://t.co/qjuD39K6OG #covid19 @Aspen_BOI

ICYMI this @TheNCUA study: Bravo to #CreditUnions that are providing #mortgages at lower rates, helping homebuyers in your communities!

These lower interest rates could save credit union borrowers thousands of dollars over the life of their mortgage loans, according to the study.
