We will not give up, John.
News just broke late last night that the Supreme Court blocked President Biden's order to extend the eviction moratorium.
It’s shameful. Earlier this month, Cori slept outside the Capitol to demand the extension of the eviction moratorium and justice for the millions of families who were at risk to be forcibly removed from their homes — in the middle of a worsening pandemic.
We were out there for five days. Rain. Heat. Cold. Together, we moved the Biden administration to order an extension of the eviction moratorium. If they think this partisan ruling is going to stop us from fighting to keep people housed, they’re wrong.
Congress needs to act immediately for every unhoused or soon to be unhoused person in our districts. Will you sign our petition so we can send a loud message to Congress that we will not rest until justice is delivered for every unhoused person in this country?
Before Cori came to Congress, there was a period in her life where she was unhoused and living in a car with her two babies. During this time, she saw up close how unhoused people are criminalized, rather than cared for and treated with the dignity that they deserve. That’s why this work is personal for Cori.
Cori knows that there’s so many others facing the challenges she herself went through. It’s estimated that over 550,000 people are currently unhoused in the United States. This crisis has only been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic – putting millions of families at risk of being evicted from their homes.
But this recent Supreme Court ruling has made it clear that it’s going to be an uphill battle to make sure our government refuses to allow any of us to go without shelter, especially during a public health crisis.
If you agree that housing is health care, and it is a fundamental right that should be guaranteed to all, please add your name to our petition calling on Congress to act IMMEDIATELY and extend the eviction moratorium by any means possible.
Together,
Team Cori
