"Evictions Are An Act Of Policy Violence": Pressley & Dems Introduce Renter Reform Legislation Authored by Jonathan Turley, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) joined fellow Democrats last week in calling for the passage of the Housing Emergencies Lifeline Program (HELP) Act to “crack down” on some evictions while barring the use of evictions on credit reports. Pressley declared that “evictions are an act of policy violence.” Promoting the act, Pressley said : “Eviction is an act of violence, and we have to do everything to prevent it.

Forcing the non-reporting of such records undermines the faith and utility of such reports. The manipulation of financial reports is a dangerous precedent in politics. Not long ago, some states, like New York, mandated the expungement or sealing of criminal justice records to help people secure jobs. Yet this is an effort by Democrats to artificially improve credit reports by removing e...
