April 25, 2020: Nationwide Cancel Rents Protests
We face a second rent day, May 1, when at least one third of renters nationwide will not be able to pay the rent due to the pandemic lockdown. Yet no governor, Democrat or Republican, has demanded that the rent be cancelled since the renters who live from paycheck to paycheck face immediate eviction when the lockdown ends as they cannot pay any back rent.
So, on April 25, 2020, a nationwide series of car caravans took place. See https://www.liberationnews.org/coast-to-coast-cancel-the-rents-say-car-protesters/
The organizer website is https://www.canceltherents.org/
Excerpt from Liberation News:
"From Los Angeles to San Francisco to Chicago to New York and more than 40 cities across the country. On April 25, while conforming to physical distancing requirements, cars rolled through impoverished neighborhoods, stopped in front of jails to demand prisoners be freed from their trucks and cars and drove by the homes of local politicians to demand that all rents and mortgages be cancelled. Posters attached to the vehicles with painters tape read CancelTheRents.org, House the Homeless and Bail out the People not the Corporations. They called for a cancellation of utility payments and for full rights to all immigrants, freedom for prisoners and housing for all. "
