[1]Women's March
This is urgent,
John. Here’s what’s happening:
Last Saturday: Congress failed to extend the eviction moratorium — putting
millions of people, especially women of color, at risk of being forcibly
removed from their homes.
Then over the weekend: Activists, in particular Black women and women of
color including progressive members of Congress like Ayanna Pressley,
Ilhan Omar, and Cori Bush (who was herself previously unhoused) slept
outside the Capitol to demand urgent action.
So now we at Women's March need to crank up the pressure to demand
Congress to reconvene immediately and pass an extension of the eviction
moratorium. [ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to our petition and represent

EXTEND THE EVICTION MORATORIUM →
It’s shameful,
John. On Friday, Congressmembers
turned their backs on millions of people, mostly women, facing eviction in
America.
We’re facing an eviction crisis that will disproportionately impact women,
especially poor women and women of color. About 73 percent of the 1.4
million renters likely to be evicted are people of color. And 56 percent
of the 1.4 million are women.^1
Women are the ones who won us a majority in Congress, and we must hold our
leaders accountable to their promise to serve the women who elected them.
Especially now, as Delta COVID cases continue to rise across the country,
we cannot allow millions of families to be evicted from their homes. Not
only is this an eviction crisis, it’s a public health emergency.
We need all hands on deck. [ [link removed] ]Please add your name right now to our
petition calling on Congress to reconvene IMMEDIATELY so we can extend the
eviction moratorium and prevent millions from being forcibly removed from
their homes.
EXTEND THE EVICTION MORATORIUM →
In solidarity,
Women’s March
