Last night, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Centers for Disease Control’s recent targeted eviction moratorium, leaving as many as 11 million people across the country at risk of becoming unhoused.
In the midst of this ongoing pandemic, Congress must step up and take action to stop this national eviction emergency and save lives.
Today, I led more than 60 of my colleagues in calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer to work with us to pass legislation to extend the eviction moratorium for the duration of this pandemic.
Safe, affordable housing is a fundamental human right, and evicting families from their homes during a pandemic is cruel and immoral.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an already rampant housing crisis — one that disproportionately impacts Black and brown people, who are also bearing the brunt of current public health and economic crises.
Make no mistake: If Congress does not act, the lack of housing protections will lead to increased spread of COVID-19, more deaths, trauma and pain.
In solidarity,
Ayanna
