You didn’t think you had school today, but class is now in session. We’re going to learn about the history of racist #housing policies in Seattle and how their history still affects communities today. /Thread
1/ Acknowledging our history, including the most ugly parts, keeps us accountable in moving forward towards achieving equity – from housing to education to jobs & beyond, we must recognize that governmental systems & laws still in place today were designed to codify prejudice.

Did everyone see the @SeaTimesOpinion piece on housing + state Legislature? Great. We have some thoughts we’d like to share. seattletimes.com/opinion/editor…#waleg
First off, @SeaTimesOpinion, it is absolutely an appropriate role for the Legislature to take action to address our critical housing shortage. We are in a housing crisis because the status quo isn’t working. Continuing down the same path is not the answer. #waleg
