John,
Since the start of the pandemic, eviction bans have kept millions of
people from losing their homes.
On August 26th though, the federal eviction moratorium put in place by the
CDC was brought to an end by the Supreme Court.
With the federal eviction moratorium gone, millions of Americans now face
the bleak reality of losing their homes, with nowhere to turn to, all
while the pandemic rages on.
The eviction crisis will get worse if no action is taken to protect the
safety of renters.

Senators Elizabeth Warren, and Ed Markey by adding your name as a citizen
co-signer of the Keeping Renters Safe Act, legislation that will protect
renters from eviction and curb the spread of COVID-19.

On the steps of the Capitol building, for three nights through rain and
summer heat, Cori Bush led a sit-in to protest the expiration of the
federal eviction moratorium.
Her protest forced the White House to issue a 60-day eviction ban on
August 3rd, protecting hundreds of thousands of tenants at risk of losing
their homes.
While this ban was overturned by the Supreme Court on August 26th, Cori
Bush’s courage and bravery showed that when people stand up and demand
change, change is possible.
Cori Bush has now introduced the Keeping Renters Safe Act to once again
protect renters from being evicted while the pandemic continues to take
thousands of lives.
Already, 39 Representatives and 5 Senators have co-sponsored this
incredibly important legislation that is needed to make sure Americans do
not lose their homes.
Congress must immediately enact the Keeping Renters Safe Act of 2021.

millions of people safely in their homes during this public health crisis.
