"I once needed to vacate my home for several days in the middle of a cold winter, because our heat had gone out and our landlord refused to fix our heating unit in a timely manner." - Nikita, Lexington tenant on why she supports a Tenants' Bill of Rights https://t.co/M4uw8toZOR

In March 2020, we could have cancelled rent and paid people to stay home. Instead, we forced people to go to work so they could make rent. The cost was human life. In January 2022, we could cancel rent and pay people to stay home. By now, we know the cost if we don’t.

Keeping schools open is fucking stupid but nobody actually seems to care about that anymore.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

High school student Faith Plank of Morehead, Kentucky, says tenants need protection from eviction and urges lawmakers to act. "In March, my entire neighborhood was evicted to make room for a shopping center. I feel the pain of that eviction to this day."

John Brown from @KCTenants led a powerful closing: "My family is separated, we're scarred forever by our eviction. Mr. Sperling, you advise the president on recovery. I need you to be thinking about MY recovery. Not the economy. Not the industries. People like me."

[Tara Raghuveer @taraghuveer]

Faith is 17, displaced from her home in the past year. She chaired our meeting w @genebsperling, Biden's recovery advisor: "We know that when... Gene Sperling wants something done, he gets it done. We need his leadership to get this eviction moratorium passed through Congress."

"We know the path is narrow but... when @genebsperling wants to get something done, he gets it done. We need his leadership to get this eviction moratorium passed through Congress." -@plank_faith of @KyTenants #EndEvictions

[Kentucky Equal Justice Center @KYEqualJustice]

Today we appeared in Rowan County Circuit on behalf of residents of @ForkJustice.

City officials in Morehead passed an ordinance giving a private developer $10 million in subsidies for retail space — knowing it would displace the people who lived there.

We sued.

[Jessica Bellamy (any/all/y’all) @JBellaGraphics]

In March, residents of roughly 65 mobile homes in Kentucky were told they had a month and a half to leave and take their homes with them. But as soon as the eviction letters went out, a protest campaign erupted. https://t.co/m5cjCBvhnz

[Kentucky Equal Justice Center @KYEqualJustice]

"The City deci[ded] to prioritize the economic interests of a rich developer in Lexington over the physical safety and economic security of people living on the land.

"It didn’t have to be an either/or.”
