As the final hours of 2024 tick away, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads. The threats to civil rights we face today are not just challenges—they are urgent calls to action.
With only a few hundred dollars raised toward our $8,000 goal, your support is vital to ensure that Long Island Housing Services is prepared to protect and advance civil rights for the next four years.
The Stakes Are High
Proposed policies threaten to dismantle decades of progress:
- Rolling back the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule could halt efforts to address segregation and systemic discrimination. (Source)
- Defunding key programs like Community Block Grants could devastate funding for affordable housing. (Source)
- Weakening protections against LGBTQ+ discrimination risks making housing inaccessible for millions. (Source)
The list goes on, but the message is clear: without action, these rollbacks could undo decades of progress in civil rights and fair housing protections.
Time is running out—protect fair housing rights for the next four years.
