The bill would leverage federal funding to build nearly three million new housing units, bring down rents by 10% for American families, and create incentives for local governments to eliminate unnecessary land use restrictions that drive up costs.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. In the months and years ahead, we can expect to see more attacks chipping away at fundamental rights, needs, and guarantees that have long been with us, particularly in times of need.

aren't aberrations of our current political & economic realities.
