Millions of us have already lost our income and are trying to figure out how we'll stay healthy and housed. The coronavirus has swept the U.S. leaving no one's life untouched. In a widespread act of solidarity, we are exercising physical distancing and, for those of us who have housing, our homes have become sanctuaries protecting us from illness. Yet in the next week, many of us will be unable to pay our rent, utilities or mortgages. Somehow we are still expected to pay rent as if it’s business as usual. It's not.
That’s why on April 1st people across the country will withhold their rent, utility payments, and mortgages. Not because they want to but because they have to. That’s why NOW is the time for Universal Rent Suspension and to guarantee safe, healthy homes for all people now!
If you’re wondering how to make ends meet or have legal or financial questions about withholding your rent sign up below for more information and to join the movement of renters, homeowners, small business and more, to demand that our federal and state governments enact an immediate suspension on rent, mortgage and utilities payments!
