@vaweisman @Jaden2 A couple years ago Reveal did a big investigation of modern-day #redlining. The organization I worked for at the time helped out a bit. https://apps.revealnews.org/redlining/

Every two weeks I have to send out company-wide status updates, which always start with an interesting fact from the Real Estate industry (since my employer is in that space). This past week's fact was about the history of #redlining. When you are a #bipoc leader, these are the tiny ways you can make an impact (the other happens to be that my team is only made up of either offshore Europeans, South American nearshore, and coincidentally only BIPOC US-based full-time employees).

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke speaking on behalf of the US Department of Justice today:

"we have secured a $31.25 million settlement with City National Bank to resolve allegations that City National redlined — or avoided providing mortgage lending services to — predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in the Los Angeles metropolitan area"

After banks foreclosed on the properties of people of color more often than white home owners during the housing bubble, banks have been more willing to work with POC homeowners and some but not the majority were able to obtain modifications on their homes. Renters who were evicted have permanent eviction records and cannot obtain rent fr 5 years. This is why white politicians keep home ownership white. Without housing we can't strive for equality. #redlining #mortgage #eviction #unfairhousing

An investgation covering 19 US cities -- including Seattle and Portland -- found that CenturyLink, Verizon, AT&T, and EarthLink routinely offer slow internet speeds to poorer neighborhoods for the same price as they offer higher speeds in other areas.

In two-thirds of the cities where there was sufficient data to compare, the worst deals were offered to the least-white neighborhoods, aligning with former redlining boundaries.

«What’s a Black life worth to insurance companies?» - Interesting & revealing Philadelphia Inquirer examination of #US #Insurance practices with lingering legacy of #racial #discrimination where #Blacks were pushed towards being #underinsured. Emphasis upon #BurialInsurance rather than income replacement. Also #Redlining.

“Republicans drew several red districts in states where they controlled the redistricting process: one each in Tennessee, Texas and Georgia, and three in Florida. Without them there would be no GOP majority.”

If you had any doubt - The racist practice of #Redlining profoundly contributes to long-term environmental and asthma-related inequities in Black adults
