It is about accountability when polling places are removed from communities of color and moved further away.

It is about accountability when calling to rent an apartment, being told it is available while on a cell walking to the door and when the landloard hangs up the phone as you end the call with them suddenly no availability.

It is about showing up for an interview and dealing with the shocked face of HR that did not know based on your application that you were a person of color or sometimes based on name did not know you were a woman.

All of this is about holding institutions accountable so that all people can be treated fairly and all people will have the opportunities you speak of. NO there are not programs that hold people accountable. Have no idea what programs you are referring to.

Poverty knows no color. Poor whites, poor latinos, poor asians, poor African Americans face similar challenges with education, employment, food security and housing. I worry about what will happen in July when the freeze on evictions ends and jobs that were halted due to Covid 19 are no longer available with some employers. How will those formerly employed people live.... We are in a world of hurt as a nation. Time to stand together....
