Happy 47th Birthday to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)! 🎉 🎉

"The CRA is a critical law. However, despite its existence, some communities still face credit discrimination and modern-day redlining. To address these challenges, it’s important to not only defend and uphold the CRA but to also present innovative solutions to enhance its effectiveness for today’s realities."

- Rise Economy CEO @PauGonzalez510 in her new blog: "How the CRA and Community Benefits Agreements are Transforming Communities 47 Years Later."

Unreal. Student loan payments are set to restart and the Dept of Education's website is inaccessible.

Happy that the @CADTM_int network has shared my book Social Movements and the Politics of Debt. CADTM has been doing incredible work for debt abolition for decades and is one of the networks I studied for this book (together with @eurodad and ICAN).

For years, the tax lien sale enriched predatory investors on the backs of Black and brown New Yorkers.

The city must permanently abolish the tax lien sale and work with community land trusts to stabilize tax distressed homes and keep people housed.

I’ve been saying it for a while - we tax money made with money at a lower rate than we tax money made with a pair of hands. There’s no good reason why, it enriches the already rich, adds to the growing wealth gap, and makes the government less able to spend on public services like health, education, and transport - things upon which all wealth earning is based.

We had an action-packed day with the Alliance Advocacy Team in Sacramento sharing updates from five local governments on the progress of city/regional public banks and the CalAccount program. 🏦🤝💵#capublicbanks #bankingforall

Silicon Valley has rebranded triple-digit interest debt-trap payday loans that exploit workers and communities of color, deceptively labeling it ‘Earned Wage Advance.’

These companies appear to be operating in New York unchecked.

We need action! Payday lending is illegal here!!

They used to call groceries "necessities."

Watch these subtle shifts in language. They just put FOOD on the same level as vacation.
