John,
On Friday, millions of Americans found themselves with their backs to the wall, forced to make a Faustian choice between paying their housing costs, or instead feeding their families.
At no point in our nation's history has the failure of our economic system been more apparent. Thousands of San Franciscans are already homeless, and without meaningful rent & mortgage relief, our political establishment will swell their ranks once delayed balloon payments eventually become due.
That’s why we support a federal freeze and forgiveness of all rent and mortgage payments throughout the duration of the pandemic. The Rent & Mortgage Cancellation Act proposed by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) would do precisely that.
Can you contribute today to help make that proposal a federal law?
On Friday, we published a blog post explaining why rent & mortgage relief is essential. It promoted the nationwide rent strike currently underway, and also reported back on a May Day car caravan. Thousands of San Franciscans raised their voices demanding that officials #CancelTheRent, while practicing the social distancing necessary to stay safe during the pandemic.
If you’ve stored your info with ActBlue Express, we’ll process your contribution instantly:
Would federal housing policy look any different if the Democratic Party were led by someone other than a wealthy corporate landlord?
Nancy Pelosi has never faced another Democrat in a November election—until now. Can you chip in $25 today to help win a new voice for San Francisco who stands with working Americans, instead of banks and corporate landlords?
Many thanks for your support!
Yours,
Shahid
