DESCRIPTION:Join the SF May Day Car Caravan to #CancelRent, Mortgage & Utility Payments 
 and Demand #HomesForAll and a #DebtFreeFuture with tenants, homeless 
 residents, workers and families!\n\nWhen: May 1st, 12-2pm \n\nWhere: (Meet 
 up location, route and details coming soon!)\n[This will be a safe & 
 physically distant multi-location rally \nEveryone in attendance should use 
 a face covering for safety, and not exit their cars unless they are 6 feet 
 apart from those around them. Bring gloves, masks, sanitizer, and any 
 hygienic products that can ensure your safety as well as the safety of 
 others.] \n\nWhy:\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has further unveiled the deep 
 inequality in our economic and housing systems. Workers without job 
 security, paid sick leave, and health insurance also usually lack housing 
 security. Even before the pandemic, 40 million U.S. households were paying 
 over a third of their incomes for housing, and half a million people were 
 living on the streets. In California the numbers are worse – renters make 
 up almost half of the population of the state, and 55% of them are 
 considered cost-burdened, with low-income people and people of color 
 suffering the worst instability. It doesn't have to be this way! We have 
 enough housing units to safely house everyone!!!\n\nAs a historic 22 
 million workers filed for unemployment in the US in the last four weeks, we 
 are demanding legislators provide immediate relief by cancelling rent, 
 mortgage and utility payments NOW and establish emergency housing for those 
 without the ability to safely shelter in place. Prioritize our lives NOT 
 real estate and corporate profits!\n \nResidents can’t follow Governor 
 Newsom’s call to “Stay Home, Save Lives” if they don’t have a 
 secure home, or if they fear future evictions or homelessness should they 
 not be able to make their rental or mortgage payments. Current temporary 
 eviction moratoriums without rental forgiveness will leave many facing 
 insurmountable debts and will mean that any wages one is able to secure 
 will be redirected to the real estate industry. We refuse to let this 
 recovery be on our backs! Tenants, workers, houseless residents and 
 families are standing together for Homes for All and a Debt Free 
 Future!!!\n\n[More details about our demands, which are part of a national 
 movement: https://cancelrent.us/demands]\n
