#RentAmnesty
We are facing a unique crisis as the novel coronavirus spreads and intense social distancing measures are put into place to slow it. The measures may reduce damage from the virus, but they will also have devastating impacts on many people who will lose income or their jobs, especially as other health, medical and childcare costs increase in response to corona related measures. We must minimize the harm from these measures. Furthermore, at this time when people are asked to stay at home, we must make sure that everyone has access, and does not lose access, to habitable housing.
We must act now:
|
Join our May Day action! Tell the Oregon Legislature we need relief for renters now! Please sign the petition calling on the Oregon Legislature to convene a special session and offer meaningful relief for Oregon renters. |
