Richard, Please know that in Washington State earlier this year, we enacted House Bill 1474, creating the Covenant Homeownership Account program, which will directly provide a remedy to housing discrimination. It includes an ongoing revenue source of $100 million per year on average, to pay for down payment assistance and closing costs for homeownership for folks harmed by the restrictive covenants. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to talk with you (maybe a zoom meeting?) to discuss this advance. --- Frank Chopp, Speaker Emeritus, Washington State House of Representatives.

We need to get real about the Supreme Court. SCOTUS is functioning the way it was designed to operate and that is to uphold white supremacy. As a political institution, historically comprised of white people, suppressing black advancement is part of its longstanding unwritten charter. Ask Justice Thomas, the sole black man on the bench, if anyone has doubts.

White supremacy ideology is deeply rooted in the American fabric. SCOTUS is just one part of its many moving parts.
