Honored to host Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman at our Financial Equity Summit where she addressed the ongoing attacks on DEI, persistent pay disparities facing women of color, and offered a powerful defense of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. @itsafronomics.bsky.social photos: @lensofwes on Instagram

Great event in DC yesterday co-sponsored by @aspeninstitute.bsky.social and Responsible Business Lending Coalition on the need for truth-in-lending legislation to rein in certain fintechs and merchant cash advance companies that prey on small business owners with undisclosed high APRs. #PFEinDCweek

New >> California and New York are projected to lose up to 8 electoral votes in 2030. Texas and Florida are projected to gain 8. If Kamala Harris had to compete with that map, even winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin wouldn’t have saved her. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Good read on how public land should be put to work for the public good of housing creation. In my 1st 100 days as mayor, we did a land audit (www.boston.gov/housing/city...) to identify City-owned parcels for housing & we’re already seeing results. A few examples ⬇️

A new report estimates that developing just a fraction of publicly owned land in Greater Boston could make room for 85,000 new homes.

FDIC unbanked survey is out today. The unbanked rate is down modestly from 2021 to 2023 (4.5 percent to 4.2). However, unbanked rates among households of color remained several times higher than the unbanked rate among White households.
