1/10 Announcing our big bold Homeownership Justice Vision, a sweeping 12 point plan to close the racial homeownership gap in Massachusetts. #mapoli #bospoli

2/10 We start with something old and something new! Our most affordable and most race conscious mortgage- the ONE Mortgage @mhphousing - must reach more first time buyers if we are going to close the gap AND our new first gen matched savings program needs to be scaled up. #mapoli

3/10 #expandthepie with linkage, PILOT, and an annual homeownership round @MA_DHCD and build more affordable homes while we strengthen CRA and @CFPB at the federal level. #mapoli #bospoli

4/10 We won’t close the gap overnight and that’s why we support @RepPressley and @CoryBooker baby bonds proposal and rethinking deed restrictions in a race conscious way as we address the wealth gap. #mapoli #bospoli

5/10 If the rent is too high, many people can even think about homeownership and let’s do more to create suburban communities that welcome more neighbors and expand opportunities for all. #mapoli #bospoli

6/10 We need a nonprofit fair housing center in greater Boston. @POTUS should cancel student loan debt as proposed by @SenWarren and others. And we need to treat climate change as the racial justice issue it is. #bospoli #mapoli

7/10 We won’t accomplish this alone and we are overwhelmed with the support we have received by leaders we respect. Those who have been in the trenches with us fighting for justice. @revrenddoctor @clarkziegler @GreaterMNC @salaam_fatima @megansandel @MijenteComite @ConMijente

8/10 The support just keeps coming! #mapoli #bospoli @NCRC @natfairhouse @AsianCDC @IBA_Boston @VanessaVcrosado @MadisonParkDC @MassHousing @mhphousing

9/10 Thank you @vietaid @jarjoh @BostonChildrens @LydiaMEdwards @Kim_Janey @houstoninst @transitmatters And thank you MAHA board, staff and members who all contributed to this plan. #mapoli #bospoli

10/10 Our elected officials in Congress are leading on issues of racial justice. We know more must be done and we will stand with them as we fight this fight together. @RepPressley @SenWarren @RepKClark #mapoli #bospoli
