“We gonna deal with death when a cop lynches us by his knee on camera and a 17-year-old girl films it. If we're gonna be outraged by death like that, we have to also be outraged by public policy deaths." -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II

What will our illustrious benefactors the Republicans and Democrats call this ? An acceptable rate of loss to perpetuate the rule of money ? How utterly abhorrent that this goes on in the richest country in the world.
Forty-three states and Washington, D.C., put in eviction moratoriums starting in March and April, but 27 of them ended in the spring and summer. Then in September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered a national stop to evictions. The CDC eviction ban isn't automatic and doesn't cover everyone. Thousands of people are still being kicked out of their homes.
Evictions are a public health crisis! We demand a fair and just relief package NOW!

A federal moratorium on evictions is set to expire on Dec. 31. Kathryn Leifheit of UCLA says new data suggest evictions are linked to increases in coronavirus cases and deaths.According to Trump’s Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow, we don’t need a big COVID relief package because, “consumer spending is very strong -- consumers have huge hoards of cash from a high saving rate.” www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-02/pelosi-mcconnell-fan-stimulus-hopes-with-2020-clock-ru...
Raise your hand/share if like millions of others you DON’T have hoards of cash!

FEDERAL AID??
Harkening back to our flooding McConnell’s office with phone calls, I just want to let people know that he is not accepting messages at his DC office or his Bowling Green office. This has been the case for weeks and it still is today. So my suggestion, please give me feedback, is that we find out whose office is next to his and call that Senator and ask them to give the message to Mitch. Today I wanted to say Americans need direct cash relief now.
