Martin Luther King, Jr. frequently talked about how the American Dream couldn't be achieved without housing and economic opportunities for all. The @CFPB is announcing new actions on redlining, combatting old-school exclusion and new forms of digital discrimination using AI.

One thing that astonishes me about @USDResponse's work is that not only do they deploy incredibly talented and public-spirited volunteers, but 5% of those volunteers make the pivot to civic tech careers! bit.ly/47XHiz4
