@HarveyHCodyII @kareem_carr You leave out the other factors raised: eg young people commit more violent crime. In 2018 youth & young adults (15-24), 13% of US population, committed 26% of violent crime. In 2018 15% of Black Americans were youth, 16% higher than the 13% of non-Black Americans who were youth.

Retweet if you believe housing is a right. Not a privilege.

🚨BREAKING: President Biden will extend federal eviction moratorium for 30 days & activate whole of government approach on eviction prevention/diversion, as we urged. Now we must redouble efforts to get ERA to tenants who need it to stay stably housed.

Op-Ed: A majority of those who are homeless in King County are from King County. Further, this is not just a Seattle crisis. All cities have to step up and help house those who are homeless. https://t.co/0m3VdfiMJM

Starvation wages forced me to live in my car with my two babies.

Starvation wages left me making decisions between keeping the lights on and food on the table.

Stop blaming unemployment benefits for worker shortages and start paying people a livable wage.

The headlight gets it wrong-it’s not just “to let landlords” discriminate. It’s to prevent municipalities from STOPPING discrimination. It’s all about “local control” for protecting the structures of discrimination, until someone wants to use local control to stop it.

When I first learned this history it was another reminder we can’t ever point to poverty to explain disparities without acknowledging its roots in anti-Black racism

The City Council today unanimously approved my motion directing the City to explore social housing models to help address the region's tremendous affordable housing crisis.

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

Predictable, preventable, potentially catastrophic. As we’ve been saying for 7+ months, #RentReliefNOW.

“A housing crisis is emerging...threatening to send millions of renters into eviction & leave landlords short billions of $$.” https://t.co/swkd4bFN4R

The exchange highlighted that one of the presidential candidates has empathy and the other thinks of addiction as a moral failing. Here, @MollyJongFast on why "addiction as a moral failing is a totally antiquated notion." https://t.co/E1ScG6ryBy
