Our VP of Strategic Partnerships and Campaigns, Chantelle Wilkinson, joined the Power Station Podcast to discuss the connection between renters, voting, and the democratic process. During the conversation, Chantelle highlighted the gap in voter participation between renters and homeowners, noting that fewer than 50% of renters voted in the 2024 election, compared with nearly 70% of homeowners. She emphasized that renter participation in elections is essential to ensuring their voices are heard and advancing the affordable housing solutions our communities need.

We’re excited to welcome Ta-Nehisi Coates, award-winning author and journalist, for a powerful conversation about systemic injustice, racial inequality, and the ongoing fight for housing justice. Coates challenges us to confront the myths that shape our society and reckon with the difficult truths that continue to influence our lives. Through his writing and public conversations, Coates has explored the lasting impact of discriminatory housing policies, including the ways redlining and other forms of housing discrimination have shaped racial and economic inequality in America. His work invites us to examine how the legacy of these policies continues to affect communities today and why understanding this history is essential to building a more just future.
