“In its recently published notice to implement the NSPIRE demonstration, HUD states that it is seeking feedback from a ‘diverse, representative group of stakeholders.’[1] However, according to the National Housing Law Project, HUD has only engaged HUD officials, as well as public housing agencies, owners and agents (POAs), to develop the demonstration. The HUD notice is also disconcertingly silent on the issue of resident engagement.[2]”

CALIFORNIA CONGRESSWOMAN WATERS DENOUNCES COMCAST AS SUPREME COURT CASE INVOLVING 1866 CIVIL RIGHTS LAW BEGINS
[Supreme Court News\ Comcast Corp v. NAAOM]
Congresswoman Maxine Waters: “Nearly ten years ago when Comcast sought to merge with NBC Universal, both companies were forced, under pressure from my efforts in Congress and the FCC, to commit to credible diversity and inclusion initiatives as a condition for the merger. Today, they are seeking to effectively destroy one of our nation’s oldest civil rights statutes dating back to Reconstruction. In doing so, Comcast is opening the flood gates to discrimination in business contracts with no legal remedy or recourse.’

SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA COMMEMORATES LIFE OF SOUTH AFRICAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS OLIVER AND ADELAIDE TAMBO
[Africa News\Commemoration of Oliver and Adelaide Tambo]
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa: “The story of OR Tambo is like a book full of timeless life lessons to all who wish to become better people in service of humanity …
Radical yet polite, and militant yet respectful, Tambo’s dynamism immensely benefited the Youth League when negotiating its way with a rather conservative old guard of the African National Congress…We pay tribute to Mama Adelaide Tambo who – as a revolutionary in her own right – understood and was prepared to pay the personal cost at which national freedom would be achieved.”
