It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." nationalfairhousingalliance.salsalabs.org/ecoaregb/ind...
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released by the CFPB would eviscerate longstanding fair lending and consumer protections in three dangerous ways:

Join NFHA & @warren.senate.gov in sounding the alarm on the Trump Admin's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer. This Admin is trying to set us back generations. We only have until 12/15 to act. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4pwy1aD.

This bill will require lenders to standardize the consumer’s right to appeal an appraisal and ensure that all homebuyers have a fair chance to build wealth through #homeownership.

President Trump’s HUD has gutted fair housing protections, rolling back regulations, cutting grants, and firing staff who enforced the Fair Housing Act.

Our elders bled for protections for people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ folks.

I offered an amendment to remove these cuts, and protect all Americans from housing discrimination.
