Harold, a senior in Richmond, was unlawfully charged late fees for a year. With our support, he fought back — and won! But our funding to stand up for Virginians' housing rights is at risk.

June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas—an event we commemorate as Juneteenth. A year later, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 became the first federal law affirming racial equity in housing. We work to build that future.

"We should face a reality too-little discussed. Richmond’s zoning codes encourage segregation. They concentrate wealth. They hoard opportunity. And they’re ripe for change."

Feeling overwhelmed by the news? Do something—with us!

We’re joining our voices with supporters of housing justice nationwide. We’re calling on the federal government to enforce a major civil rights law—the 1968 Fair Housing Act—before they strip its power.
