50+ Good Things from the Biden Administration

Just a list of 50+ good things the Biden Administration has done in the last 4 years because I’ve been hearing too much rhetoric that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. It does make a difference. 

Increased access to healthcare and specifically codified protections for LGBTQ+ patients against discrimination. (x) 

Strengthened women's reproductive rights by increasing access to reproductive health care, improving confidentiality to protect against criminalization for patients receiving reproductive care, and revoked Medicaid waivers from states that would exclude providers like Planned Parenthood, and more. (x)

Expanded healthcare and benefits for veterans through the PACT Act (x)

Cemented protections for pregnant and postpartum workers through the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act. 

Improved access to nursing homes for those who receive Medicaid services and established, for the first time, a national minimum staffing requirement for nursing homes to ensure those in their care receive sufficient support.  (x) 

Lowered healthcare costs for those with Medicare which capped insulin for seniors at $35 a month, made vaccines free, and capped seniors’ out of pocket expenses at the pharmacy through the Inflation Reduction Act. 

Fully vaccinated 79% of American adults against COVID-19 (I know this is old news now this is a big deal) 

Banned unfair practices that hide housing fees from renters and homebuyers when moving into a new home (x) 

Reduced the mortgage insurance premium for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages and clarified that inflated rents caused by algorithmic use of sensitive nonpublic pricing and supply information violate antitrust laws. (x) 

Increased protections for those saving for retirement from predatory practices. (x)

Helped millions of households gain access to the internet through the Affordable Connectivity Program. (x) 

Restored net neutrality (net neutrality is a standard which ensures broadband internet service is essential and prohibits interna providers from blocking, engaging in paid prioritization, and more.) (x)

Increased protections for loan holders as well as increased access to loans (x)

Cut fees that banks charge consumers for overdrawing on their accounts. (x)

Reaffirmed HUD’s commitment to remedy housing discrimination under the Fair Housing Act (which was– surprise, surprise– halted under the Trump administration). (x)

Rejoined the Paris Climate Accords.  

Listed more than 24 million acres of public lands across the country as environmentally protected and has channeled more than $18 billion dollars toward conservation projects. (And revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline amongst others). 

Invested $369 billion to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote clean energy technologies through the Inflation Reduction Act. Through the tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, renewable energy (such as wind, solar, and hydropower) has surpassed coal-fired generation in the electric power sector for the first time, making it the second-biggest source of energy behind natural gas. (x)

Strengthened protections against workplace assault through the Speak Out Act. (x) 

Increased protections for workers during the union bargaining process (x)

Is making it easier for passengers to obtain refunds when airlines cancel or significantly change their flights, significantly delay their bags, or fail to provide extra services when purchased. (x)  

Invested $1.2 trillion into roads, waterlines, broadband networks, airports and more allowing for more bridges, railroads, tunnels, roads, and more through the Inflation Reduction Act (which also added 670,000 jobs). (idk about you but I like driving on well maintained roads and having more rail options).  

Strengthened overtime protections for federal employees (x)

Raised the minimum wage for federal workers and contractors to $15. (x)

Strengthened protections for farmworkers by expanding the activities protected from retaliation by the National Labor Relations Act and more. (Previously anti-retaliation provisions under the National Labor Relations Act applies mostly to only U.S. citizens) (x)

Canceled over $140B of student debt for nearly 40 million borrowers. (x)

Strengthened protections for sexual assault survivors, pregnant and parenting students, and LGBTQ+ students in schools through an updated Title IX rule. This updated rule strengthens sexual assault survivors rights to investigation– something that had been gutted under the Trump administration, strengthens requirements that schools provide modifications for students based on pregnancy, prohibits harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and more. (x)

Revoked an order that limited diversity and inclusion training. (x)

Cracked down on for profit colleges. (x)

Reaffirmed students’ federal civil rights protections for non-discrimination based on race, national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender in schools. Specifically, the Department of Education made clear students with disabilities’ right to school, limiting the use of out of school suspensions and expulsions against them. (x) (x) 

Enhanced the Civil Rights Data Collection, a national survey that captures data on students’ equal access to educational opportunities. These changes will improve the tracking of civil rights violations for students, critical for advocates to respond to instances of discrimination. 

Provided guidance on how colleges and universities can still uphold racial diversity in higher education following the Supreme Court decision overturning affirmative action. (x) 

Issued a federal pardon to all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana. Additionally, the DEA is taking steps to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III substance instead of a Schedule I, limiting punishment for possession in the future. (x) 

Changed drug charges related to crack offenses, now charging crack offenses as powder cocaine offenses. This is a big step towards ending the racial disparity that punishes crack offenses with greater severity than offenses involving the same amount of powder cocaine. (x) 

Lowered the cost of local calls for incarcerated people through the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act as well as increased access for video calls (especially impactful for incarcerated people with disabilities). (x) 

Enacted policing reforms that banned chokeholds, restricted no-knock entries, and restricted the transfer of military equipment to local police departments. (x)

Established the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) which will better track police officer misconduct. This database will vet federal law enforcement candidates who have a history of misconduct from being rehired and will make it easier and faster to charge police officers under the Death in Custody Reporting Act. (x) 

Added disability as a protected characteristic alongside race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. Under the law, police officers are prohibited from profiling people based on these characteristics. …It sadly happens anyway but now there’s an added legal protection which means a mechanism to convict police officers should they break the law. (x) 

Required federal prisons to place incarcerated individuals consistent with their chosen pronouns and gender identity. (x) 

Expanded gun background checks by narrowing the “boyfriend” loophole to keep guns out of the hands of convicted dating partners, strengthening requirements for registering as a licensed gun dealer (closing the “gun show loophole”), and more through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.  (x) 

Increased mental health programs within police departments to support officers experiencing substance use disorders, mental health issues, or trauma from their duties. (x)

Lifted Trump era restrictions on the use of consent decrees. The Justice Department uses consent decrees to force local government agencies (like police departments) to eliminate bad practices (such as widespread abuse and misconduct) that infringe on peoples’ civil rights. (x) 

Improved reporting of hate crimes through the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (x) 

Nominated the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court 

Confirmed 200 lifetime judges to federal courts, confirming historic numbers of women, people of color, and other judges who have long been excluded from our federal court system. (64% are women, 63% are people of color) 

Designated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) status for immigrants from Cameroon, Haiti, ​​El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sudan, and more. (x) 

Ended the discriminatory Muslim and African bans (x). 

Provided a pathway to citizenship for spouses of U.S. citizens that have been living in the country without documentation. (x) 

Expanded healthcare to DACA recipients (x) 

This one is… barely a win but not by fault of the Biden Administration. The Department of Homeland Security as of Feb 2023 has reunited nearly 700 immigrant children that were separated from their families under Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy. From 2017-2021, 3,881 children were separated from their families. About 74% of those have been reunited with their families: 2,176 before the task force was created and 689 afterward. But that still leaves nearly 1,000 children who remain tragically separated from their families from under the Trump Administration. (x)

(okay this one is maybe only exciting for me who’s a census nerd) Revised federal standards for the collection of race and ethnicity data, allowing for federal data that better reflect the country’s diversity. Now, government forms will include a Middle Eastern/ North African category (when previously those individuals would check “white”). Additionally, forms will now have combined the race & ethnicity question allowing for individuals to check “Latino/a” as their race (previously Latine individuals would be encouraged to check “Latino” for ethnicity and “white” for race… which doesn’t really resonate with many folks). (x) (I know this sounds boring but let me tell you this is BIG when it comes to better data collection– and better advocacy!).

Rescinded a Trump order that would have excluded undocumented immigrants from the 2020 Census which would have taken away critical funds from those communities. 

Required the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages by passing the Respect for Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

Reversed Trump���stransgender military ban. 

Proposed investments in a lot of programs including universal pre-k, green energy, mental health programs across all sectors, a national medical leave program for all workers and more. (x) 

Last… let’s also not forget all the truly terrible things Trump did when he was in office. If you need a reminder, scroll this list, this one mostly for giggles + horror, for actual horror about what a Trump presidency has in store, learn about ‘Project 2025’ from the Heritage Foundation. I know this post is about reasons to vote FOR Biden but let’s not forget the many, many reasons to vote for him over Trump. 

So, there it is, 50+ reasons to vote for Biden in the 2024 Election. 

Check your voter registration here, make a plan to vote, and encourage your friends to vote as well. 

All in all, yeah… there’s a lot of shitty things still happening. There’s always going to be shit but things aren’t going to change on their own. And that change starts (it certainly doesn’t end) with voting. 

Go vote in November.

Just wanted to post a formal update about Hiraeth's update schedule. This last October, my landlord informed me they would not renew my lease and my husband and I had to find somewhere else to live. We've been looking all winter and in the process of getting a loan to buy a house (rent in our area is 2× as expensive as a mortgage 💀). Things have been chaotic and stressful, which is a creativity killer for me.

Once housing stability is restored, I fully intend to return to Hiraeth! Thank you for waiting and everyone who has kindly left comments and reviews.

Sustainability and Green Banking: The Future of Financial Services

The global banking sector is undergoing a significant transformation as financial institutions embrace sustainability and green banking. With increasing concerns about climate change, environmental degradation, and social responsibility, banks are now playing a pivotal role in promoting sustainable finance, reducing carbon footprints, and investing in green initiatives.

Green banking is no longer a niche concept—it has become an essential part of the financial services industry. This shift is driven by regulatory pressures, evolving customer preferences, and the recognition that sustainable investments yield long-term economic benefits. As part of the banking sector outlook, sustainability is now a major focus for financial institutions worldwide.

In this article, we will explore what green banking is, why it matters, the key trends shaping the future, and how financial institutions can lead the way in sustainable finance.

What is Green Banking?

Green banking refers to environmentally responsible financial practices that prioritize sustainability. This includes:

Financing renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind power.

Offering green loans and green bonds for eco-friendly businesses and initiatives.

Reducing banks' own carbon footprints by using energy-efficient infrastructure.

Encouraging customers to invest in sustainable businesses and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) portfolios.

Green banking is not just about corporate responsibility—it is a strategic move that aligns financial services with the long-term health of the planet and the economy.

Why Sustainability Matters in Banking

1. Regulatory Pressures and Global Commitments

Governments and international bodies such as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are pushing financial institutions to adopt sustainable banking practices.

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming, requiring financial institutions to support climate-friendly investments.

India’s RBI has issued guidelines for banks to integrate environmental risks into their credit policies.

The EU Green Deal and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) require banks to disclose their climate impact.

2. Growing Demand for ESG Investments

Customers and investors are increasingly interested in sustainable finance options. ESG-focused investment funds are seeing massive growth as individuals and institutions seek investments that align with their values.

3. Financial and Economic Benefits

Sustainable banking is not just ethically important—it is financially smart.

Green loans and sustainable investments often yield long-term financial stability.

Energy-efficient buildings and operations reduce costs for banks.

Supporting low-carbon industries minimizes risks associated with climate change and environmental regulations.

Key Trends in Green Banking

1. Green Bonds and Sustainable Investments

Green bonds are financial instruments used to fund climate and environmental projects. The green bond market has surged globally, with banks issuing billions in bonds to finance sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

2. Digital Banking for Sustainability

Many banks are shifting to paperless banking and promoting online transactions to reduce waste. Digital banking also reduces the carbon footprint associated with physical branches and paper-based processes.

3. Net-Zero Banking Commitments

Several banks have committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, meaning they will finance more green projects and reduce funding for carbon-intensive industries like coal and oil.

4. Green Mortgages and Loans

Banks are offering lower interest rates on green mortgages for energy-efficient homes. Similarly, businesses that adopt sustainable practices can access green loans with preferential terms.

5. Fintech and AI-Driven Sustainable Finance

Financial technology (fintech) is playing a significant role in green banking. AI and blockchain are being used to create transparent ESG investment platforms, helping customers track their environmental impact.

How Banks Can Lead the Way in Sustainable Finance

To truly integrate green banking, financial institutions must take proactive steps:

1. Develop Strong ESG Policies

Banks should embed environmental and social governance (ESG) criteria into their lending and investment decisions. This ensures funds are directed towards sustainable businesses and projects.

2. Partner with Green Enterprises

Financial institutions can collaborate with renewable energy companies, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and sustainable startups to offer specialized financing solutions.

3. Educate Customers on Sustainable Finance

Banks can create awareness about green investment opportunities, helping customers align their financial goals with sustainability.

4. Reduce Internal Carbon Footprints

By adopting energy-efficient buildings, solar-powered ATMs, and paperless banking, banks can minimize their operational impact on the environment.

5. Expand Green Financial Products

Green Savings Accounts: Accounts that fund eco-friendly projects.

Eco-friendly Credit Cards: Cards that support carbon offset programs.

Sustainable Investment Portfolios: Funds that invest in low-carbon industries.

The Future of Green Banking

As part of the banking sector outlook, green banking is set to become a core strategy for financial institutions. Banks that fail to adopt sustainable finance risk losing relevance as customers, investors, and regulators demand greater environmental responsibility.

The shift towards sustainable finance is not just a trend—it is an economic necessity. Climate change, resource scarcity, and global regulations will shape how banks operate in the coming decades.

By embracing green banking, financial institutions can drive economic growth while safeguarding the planet for future generations.

Conclusion

Sustainability and green banking are redefining the financial sector. From green bonds and digital banking to ESG investments and carbon-neutral initiatives, banks are stepping up to address climate change and environmental challenges.

As the demand for eco-friendly financial solutions continues to grow, the banks that take the lead in sustainable finance will be the ones that thrive in the future.

How Mortgage Renewals in Mississauga Can Impact Your Financial Future

Few decisions are as significant to your financial future as mortgage renewals. Homeowners in Mississauga, Ontario, may find that how they approach their mortgage renewal can influence their long-term economic health. With interest rates fluctuating, changing economic circumstances, and evolving mortgage products, understanding the impact of mortgage renewals is crucial.

This article will explore how mortgage renewals in Mississauga can affect your financial future. From interest rates and loan terms to refinancing options and tax considerations, your choices during your renewal process can shape your financial trajectory for years to come.

What is a Mortgage Renewal?

A mortgage renewal is the process of renegotiating the terms of your mortgage at the end of your term. Mortgages in Canada are typically offered with terms of 1 to 5 years, after which the mortgage comes up for renewal. At that point, homeowners can renew with the same lender or shop for better rates and conditions with a different financial institution.

During this process, your lender will provide you with a renewal offer that includes the new interest rate, term length, and any changes in payment structures. You'll have the option to accept or reject the renewal offer, and you can also choose to switch lenders if it benefits your financial situation.

Why Mortgage Renewals Matter for Your Financial Future

How you approach your mortgage renewal can significantly impact your financial future. Let us break down some of the most important considerations.

1. Interest Rates Can Make or Break Your Payments

The interest rate is one of the most apparent factors impacting your mortgage renewal. Interest rates in Canada can fluctuate depending on the Bank of Canada's monetary policy, inflation, and market conditions. A slight change in your mortgage interest rate can significantly impact your monthly payments and the total amount of interest paid over the life of the mortgage.

For example, a 1% increase in your interest rate can result in hundreds of extra dollars per month. In a city like Mississauga, where home prices are higher than the national average, even a slight increase in interest rates can have a significant financial impact.

When renewing your mortgage, it's crucial to assess the current market rates and compare them with your lender's offer. If your current lender's renewal rate exceeds the prevailing market rates, you may be overpaying for your mortgage.

2. Choosing the Right Mortgage Term

In addition to the interest rate, the term length of your mortgage renewal also plays a vital role in your financial future. Mortgage terms in Canada typically range from 1 to 5 years, though some lenders may offer even longer terms.

Opting for a longer-term mortgage may provide stability, as your interest rate will remain fixed. However, it may also lock you into a higher rate than a shorter-term mortgage. On the other hand, a shorter-term mortgage might give you the flexibility to adjust your rate sooner but could also come with more frequent rate adjustments, depending on market conditions.

For homeowners in Mississauga, a city with a dynamic real estate market, it is essential to consider the stability of your financial situation and your expectations about future interest rates. If you are confident that rates will remain stable or decline, you may want to opt for a shorter term. However, if you prefer predictability and are worried about rising rates, locking in a longer-term mortgage may be the better option.

3. The Benefits of Shopping Around

When your mortgage renewal is up, it's easy to fall into the trap of simply accepting your current lender's offer without exploring other options. However, shopping around for better rates and terms can substantially impact your financial future. Even a minor reduction in your interest rate can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

In Mississauga, where the real estate market is competitive and home prices are high, it is essential to be proactive about your mortgage renewal. You can compare offers from multiple lenders, including banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers. With the right approach, you may be able to secure a lower rate or more favourable terms, helping to reduce your overall mortgage burden.

4. The Impact of Mortgage Refinancing

During your mortgage renewal, you may also have the opportunity to refinance, which involves adjusting the terms of your loan in exchange for a new mortgage agreement. Refinancing can benefit homeowners who want to tap into their home equity, consolidate debt, or secure a lower interest rate.

If you have built up equity in your home, refinancing may allow you to access cash for home renovations, education, or other investments. Refinancing can also be a smart strategy for consolidating high-interest debts, such as credit cards, into a lower-interest mortgage.

However, refinancing comes with costs, including prepayment penalties, legal fees, and appraisal costs. It's essential to weigh the potential benefits of refinancing against the costs to determine whether it i+s the right choice for your financial future.

5. The Role of Prepayment Options

Another consideration when renewing your mortgage in Mississauga is the prepayment options available to you. Many Canadian mortgage products offer the ability to make lump sum payments or increase your regular payments without penalty. This can help you pay your mortgage faster and save on interest payments.

If your financial situation has improved since your original mortgage agreement, you may want to negotiate prepayment options that allow you to accelerate your mortgage repayment. By making extra payments, you can reduce your outstanding principal and shorten the length of your mortgage.

Prepayment options are particularly valuable in Mississauga, where property values have risen steadily. If you can make extra payments, you can use rising home values to build equity and reduce your mortgage debt.

6. Tax Considerations

Though your primary focus when renewing your mortgage will likely be securing favourable rates and terms, it's also essential to consider the potential tax implications. In Canada, mortgage interest is generally not tax-deductible for personal residences. However, if you rent out part of your home or have a home-based business, some of your mortgage interest may be eligible for tax deductions.

Consulting a tax professional can help you understand whether there are opportunities to save on taxes through mortgage interest deductions. Additionally, if you're refinancing for investment purposes, such as purchasing another property, there may be additional tax considerations to consider.

7. The Impact of Mississauga's Real Estate Market

Mississauga's real estate market has seen significant growth over the past few decades, which will likely continue. This growth can directly impact your mortgage renewal, particularly if the value of your home has increased significantly since you initially purchased it.

As home values rise, you may have more equity in your property, which could give you greater flexibility when negotiating mortgage terms. If you are looking to refinance, this increased equity can also result in better loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, potentially leading to more favorable interest rates and terms.

However, if home values in Mississauga experience a downturn, you may face challenges during your mortgage renewal. A decrease in home value could affect your LTV ratio and result in higher interest rates or reduced refinancing options.

Final Thoughts

Mortgage renewals are a crucial opportunity to reassess your financial goals and make informed decisions about your mortgage. For homeowners in Mississauga, how you handle your mortgage renewal can significantly impact your long-term financial future.

By carefully considering factors like interest rates, mortgage terms, refinancing options, and prepayment strategies, you can position yourself to save money, reduce debt, and secure a more favorable financial future. Don't be afraid to shop around, consult experts, and explore all available options to ensure your mortgage renewal aligns with your financial goals. Contact us for more information.
