Trying to get a better grasp on the world we live in and be an accomplice in dismantling the system we currently operate in. Black lives absolutely matter.
In a nation that houses (pun intended) multiple billionaires, the "condundrum" of #affordablehousing has never been solved and eviction prevention never implemented. Now with the pandemic, even more people are at risk for homelessness.

28 MILLION evictions loom in the US.
- Yet there's no reason housing shouldn't be a human right.
- Before the pandemic there were 3 empty homes for every homeless person.
Stop equating low income to criminality and introducing new ways to perpetuate segregation. If you don't think it's about race, look up redlining, white flight or take a field trip to one of the affluent zip codes and see who lives there.

@realDonaldTrump TRANSLATION: Hey affluent white people...vote for me and I'll keep those very scary black and brown people out of your neighborhood...
You should learn about Housing Segregation & Redlining. It began with Suburbs & Single Family Homes for whites only. #AFFH was in place to make sure the zoning or Housing decisions in cities included integrated or inclusive policies.
โThe simple fact is that we need universal rent control to protectโฆtenantsโฆbut also to even the playing field for good landlords, first-time homebuyers, and homeowners who want to keep their community together.โ https://t.co/gknWycbL2A
do u ever think about how much of ur own growth u stunted bc u were too busy distorting ur sense of self to match what u think other ppl want from u that u didnt make space to think about who u are, what u believe in, and what u want from urself
We are facing a nationwide gentrification crisis, fueled by excessive, unfair rents and greedy corporate landlords. We need protections. We need rent control -- now. #gentrification#rentcontrol https://t.co/ODze7hEOhR
Just ONE WEEK until we are at the Thompson Center asking JB to join us. Get your signs, your shoes ready to march, and your voices ready to rise. Rent control is PAST DUE, and we are coming to demand it!! #LiftTheBan#AffordableHousingCrisis

Young Black Activists are being targeted and killed and there is no one who will be able to tell me any different.
They are being written off as suspicious or suicide. Naw.
