RIGHT NOW: Gabriel Tower Tenant Union is present at the Land Clearance and Redevelopment Authority (LCRA) meeting to testify that @livemillennia should be found in breach of their contract with the City. Currently, Millennia pays $0 in property taxes on this building. Apparently Millennia submitted an "action plan" to the city to remedy their transgressions at Gabriel Tower... just yesterday. The tenants have not seen this action plan. They want Millennia out of the property. These owners are negligent and exploitative.

In February, Krisi signed a lease with Reliable Properties on a home in her kids' school district, after paying almost $6,000 in deposits plus first/last month’s rent. A few weeks earlier, she’d finally found a job that paid a decent wage. Things were looking up for her family. Image Then COVID hit. Krisi's employer shut down. Krisi took the first job she could find at a Dollar Store, but it came with a $4/hr pay cut. Krisi couldn't pay her bills. She tried to make a plan with Reliable Properties to pay rent in $50 or $100 chunks, but they weren’t having it.

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.
