Call to Action: Support LB487 – Addressing the Legacy of Redlining

LB487 is a critical bill that will establish the Restitution and Redress for Redlining Task Force to study and address the long-term economic and social impacts of redlining in Nebraska. For decades, discriminatory housing policies denied African Americans and other marginalized communities access to homeownership, wealth-building opportunities, and fair lending practices. This bill is an essential step toward economic justice and equity.

Why is LB487 important?

  • Acknowledges the harm caused by redlining and the ongoing economic disparities it created.
  • Creates solutions to address the wealth gap and ensure greater access to homeownership and financial resources.
  • Promotes community-driven policy recommendations to improve housing, economic mobility, and financial stability.
  • Helps build a more equitable Nebraska by addressing past discrimination and working toward long-term solutions.
