Dear Friend and Fellow-Member,

GREETINGS from your CCAR Board leadership! Last week, a group of us spent some time in Sacramento, celebrating our annual Legislative Day where we had the opportunity to meet with legislators and discuss important real estate related issues facing our industry at the State level. This week, we’re in Washington, D.C., talking to Federal legislators on your behalf.

Below, we’ve pulled together some information on important issues facing us this year, and encourage you to join together with us (CCAR, C.A.R. and NAR) as we work to protect your real estate businesses and homeownership rights in California and the Nation.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions, or concerns (contact information is listed above).

Seven Days Documentary | 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act

When a single gunshot rings out at a Memphis motel, civil unrest breaks out across the country…

President Johnson, long frustrated by his inability to improve housing conditions for people of color, scrambles to use the crisis to push a fair housing bill through a reluctant Congress. With few days to spare and many arms to twist, he and two young Senators – Edward Brooke and Walter Mondale – attempt to pass the bill before the slain civil rights leader is laid to rest. The Fair Housing Act was ultimately passed just seven days after Dr. Martin Luther King’s untimely death. Produced by the National Fair Housing Alliance in collaboration with Nationwide, this short film reminds us of the backdrop that led to the passage of this landmark civil rights law and its deep significance and compels us all to complete the unfinished work of the Act.
