“There is no rule that says a dragon cannot modify their seat to serve their rider. You have worked just as hard—if not harder—than every rider in this quadrant. Just because your body is built differently than the others doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to keep your seat. It takes more than a few strips of leather and a pommel to define a rider.”

A recent News 5 story highlighted community concerns surrounding a proposed housing development in Willoughby. Conversations like these are an important reminder that fair housing matters in every community.

Fair housing means ensuring that all people — regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, s*x, disability, or familial status — have equal access to housing opportunities. It also means recognizing the importance of diverse housing options that allow individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities to live in safe, welcoming communities.

At FHRC, we encourage respectful, informed discussions about housing development and community growth while promoting inclusion, accessibility, and equal housing opportunity for all.

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana vs. Callais is a direct attack on Black voters and marks a shameful moment in our democracy. This ruling opens the door to racial gerrymandering that will take us back to Jim Crow. This ruling is a betrayal of Black voters and the promise of democracy. We will not stay silent.
