We’re proud to join tenants, organizers, advocates, and legal experts to support a comprehensive policy agenda that lays out basic protections for renters. It is time to fix the housing crisis and enshrine tenants' rights. #NTBOR

In these resource-starved times, those that benefit the most from our economy must contribute their fair share and invest in a Liberation Economy where people of color can prosper and thrive. To learn more, read our full tax code paper here: https://t.co/Y7y9srEpzX (9/9)

A new distributional analysis of the tax code of our #OppressionEconomy shows that we spend $1.2T growing the wealth of white wealthy elite.
