Hi John,
Over the weekend, Cori organized a powerful mobilization in D.C. to demand an extension of the eviction moratorium.
Cori, community members, activists, and her sisters-in-service in the Squad, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar, slept outside the Capitol to urge Congress to address the unhoused crisis in our country.
On Saturday night, as the eviction moratorium expired, we stood on the steps of the Capitol in a moment of silence for all the people who are unhoused whose lives have been taken because of policy violence.
On Friday, many of Cori’s Democratic colleagues left town to go on vacation instead of staying to extend the moratorium. We are deeply disappointed: Our team has heard that there have already been thousands of evictions already.
People are being forcibly removed from their homes RIGHT NOW. There are potentially millions more to come.
Congress has an obligation to save lives, and after spending the weekend at Cori’s side — I know that she will not back down in this fight until unhoused families are protected during this pandemic.
We need to reinstate the eviction moratorium to put an end to this eviction emergency. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can right now to support our organizing work as we crank up the pressure for urgent action?
Chip in $5
This fight is personal for Cori. Before she came to Congress, there was a period in her life where she was unhoused and living in a car with her two babies.
Cori understands first-hand the struggles unhoused families go through and that’s why she refuses to rest until Congress, the CDC, or the White House acts to address the unhoused crisis in our country.
Our Democratic-controlled government has the power to stop this crisis. But it’s clear after this weekend it’s going to take a powerful show of grassroots pressure to make sure Congress uses their power to protect unhoused families.
That’s why I’m asking you today to please chip in $5 or anything you can to help power our organizing work so we can stop the wave of evictions happening right now, especially as Delta cases rise across the country.
Let’s do this,
Jack B.
Team Cori
