April 1st is coming fast.
The income support offered from different levels of government won’t come in time.

It’s up to us to support one another to get through this. Please don’t suffer alone.

To survive this renters will need to start building our power.
We’ll need to take care of each other.
But we’ll also need to make our voices heard.
We will need to tell the government what we really need.
And if they don’t act then we will.

To meet basic necessities, we need:
A moratorium on all rents. We won’t go into debt, risk our health or starve our families to pay the rent.

To meet basic necessities, we need:
A deferment of all mortgage payments without accruing interest. No bank should profit off of disaster while tenants pay the price.

To meet basic necessities, we need:
A cancellation of outstanding rents and evictions notices when the eviction moratorium is lifted. We will not bear the brunt of this crisis by losing our homes or wiping away our futures
