Today is August 1. The rent is due and millions of us can’t pay. We shouldn’t have to. We shouldn’t be forced to the streets in a pandemic. All evictions are an act of violence.
We took matters into our hands and shut down all in-person and online KC evictions on Thursday.

One by one, our eviction disruptors stood up in the middle of eviction proceedings and recited a message directed at the judge and the tenants in the room. As soon as one disruptor was ousted, another began.
Disruptors were initially just removed from the building. Several of them left, walked around the block, and came back to disrupt again.
Landlord lawyers laughed and got out their phones to record the disruptors. Let’s not forget that those lawyers’ suits and briefcases are funded by this violent process.
While this disruption was occurring, disruptors were also shutting down the conference call evictions, occurring in the same courtrooms.
We need at least a six month eviction moratorium now. If we don’t get it, we will continue shutting down this violent process.

Who are we? KC TENANTS
And if we don’t get it? SHUT IT DOWN
And if we don’t get it? SHUT IT DOWN
