John --

It was not so long ago that financial companies refused to do business in Black-majority neighborhoods. These discriminatory redlining practices are now illegal -- but they are far from a distant memory.

In the midst of Philadelphia's civil unrest, a handful of opportunistic looters distracted from our message of racial justice by destroying and stealing property from drug stores, retail stores, and other local businesses we've come to rely on. Now, insurance companies are using "crime scores" to cut coverage and raise costs in "high risk" communities, which we all know means Philly's Black neighborhoods.

Crime scores are just redlining by another name. Join Dwight in speaking out against these new discriminatory policies. Add your name now >>

Abandoning small and minority-owned businesses in their time of need is just plain wrong. Our country is facing a painful but necessary reckoning with our racist history, and a renewed call for racial justice that has been denied for entirely too long. But insurance companies are using this as an opportunity to resurrect new discriminatory redlining practices -- and we must put a stop to it.

Dwight is now working across the aisle on the Helping Entrepreneurs Access Loans (HEAL) Act to funnel desperately needed funds to the businesses impacted by recent looting efforts. The property destroyed or damaged must be repaired and replaced to help small and minority-owned businesses get back up on their feet.

Our community's most vulnerable businesses need our help right now, John. If you support Dwight's HEAL Act and his work to end redlining and racial discrimination once and for all, sign the petition today.
