Dear MoveOn member,

Today, millions of Americans are facing eviction because Washington failed
to act and allowed the moratorium on evictions to lapse. With the delta
variant surging across the country, this is an absolute emergency.

We need Congress to step in and fix this mess. But they'll act only if
they hear from us. [ [link removed] ]Can you add your name? Sign the petition: Congress
must extend the eviction moratorium, so people don't lose their homes!

Thanks for all you do.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Extend the eviction moratorium so people don’t lose
their homes!

Dear MoveOn member,

Last night, Representative Cori Bush and dozens of others spent the night
on the steps of the Capitol—in solidarity with the millions of Americans
who could face evictions today when the eviction moratorium expires
because of government agencies' failures to distribute rental assistance
and our leaders' failures to act to avert this moral, health, and economic
catastrophe.

We have until midnight to pressure them to act: [ [link removed] ]Please add your name
now—to echo Rep. Bush's call and demand President Biden, the CDC, and both
houses of Congress immediately extend the eviction moratorium and KEEP
PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES!

The leaders of our Democratic-controlled government need to use every tool
in their toolbox: Extend the eviction moratorium immediately! President
Biden and the CDC must extend the eviction moratorium, and Congress must
take immediate action, before millions of people lose their homes.

The pandemic is not over. People are still suffering, jobless, going
hungry, and living through repeated trauma. As the delta variant tears
through the country, the Democratic-controlled White House, Senate, and
House need to do everything in their power to keep people housed. It’s
unacceptable that millions could be kicked out of their homes—causing an
enormous crisis that will disrupt families and communities, hurt our
economy, plunge countless people into chaos, strain our social safety net,
and disproportionately impact BIPOC and working people. 

Since the onset of the pandemic, the CDC had put in place an eviction
moratorium, noting the public health dangers of evictions. That moratorium
is ending. There are billions in rental assistance that could help keep
renters in their homes and keep landlords paid—but government agencies are
moving too slowly to distribute the funds. A moratorium extension would
give time for renters to get the assistance they need and would create
more continuity for families, communities, and our economy.

Inaction is not an option. Evictions are cruel and disruptive, and during
this economic and health crisis, they are even more morally reprehensible.
Government leaders must act immediately!
