Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s War on Fair Housing

Trump’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is dismantling fair housing protections — putting Black, Latino, disabled, and LGBTQ+ families at risk. Congress must act now.

Whistleblowers from HUD just exposed a horrifying truth: the Trump administration is dropping discrimination cases, silencing investigators, and letting powerful interests off the hook.

Reports from The New York Times, The Guardian, and Truthout show top Trump officials ordered staff to weaken Fair Housing Act enforcement and retaliated against those who tried to uphold civil rights. Democrats in the House and Senate are calling for investigations, and it’s up to us to make it happen.

Tell Congress: “Stop Trump’s war on civil rights in housing. Hold public hearings to investigate the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fair Housing Act.”

The Fair Housing Act was born from the civil rights movement — a promise that every family deserves a fair shot at safe, affordable housing. 

But Trump’s HUD is betraying that promise, leaving Black and Latino families, single mothers, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ renters more vulnerable to housing discrimination and displacement. Real people will lose their homes, be denied mortgages, or be shut out of safe neighborhoods because the federal government refuses to enforce the law.

Congress must act now. The House Oversight and Senate Banking Committees must launch a full public investigation, subpoena documents, and protect whistleblowers. Every day of delay allows discrimination to spread unchecked.

As Senator Elizabeth Warren said: “We wrote these laws to make this a fairer America, and now it’s time to enforce those laws.”

Add your name to demand that Congress investigate Trump’s attacks on the Fair Housing Act and stand up for every American’s right to fair, safe housing — before it’s too late.

The petition to Congress reads: “Stop Trump’s war on civil rights in housing. Hold public hearings to investigate the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fair Housing Act.”
