Currently attending an informal session of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. I’ve just introduced an emergency petition in an attempt to extend the eviction and foreclosure moratorium, and I motioned for suspension of Rule 24(3) in an attempt to bring it to the floor... 
We are currently in recess, subject to the call of the Chair. The session is available via webcast, here: malegislature.gov/Events/Session…
My motion to suspend Rule 24(3) was successful — and the emergency petition was sent to the Senate for concurrence. However, the Senate has already adjourned for the weekend, so I just doubted the presence of a quorum and shut down the House to protest 11 weeks of inaction.
We will continue calling on @MassGovernor to extend the eviction moratorium + calling on the legislature to advance the Housing Stability Act. For my part, it was a matter of conscience to be in the House Chamber today doing all that I could to fight the coming wave of evictions.
