DESCRIPTION:LIFE OVER RENT: A start of the month rally — Our needs come before our 
 landlord’s profits.\n\nWhat we want:\n\n1. Cancel Rent: Demanding rent 
 during the pandemic is cruel and threatens to intensify our homelessness 
 crisis, particularly for Black and brown working class communities.\n\n2. 
 Landlords Must Negotiate: Thousands of tenants have organized collectively 
 to demand rent relief — landlords must negotiate with these tenant 
 councils or face consequences.\n\n3. Services Not Sheriffs: Governments 
 must prohibit evictions and expand unemployment and food stamps for the 
 working-class people hit hardest by our joint economic and health 
 crises.\n\nAny economic crisis is an opportunity for change. The 2008 
 recession showed this well: the rich became richer while the working class 
 faced higher rents and precarious jobs. We saw this in Oakland, as 
 landlords gobbled up foreclosed homes and then doubled the rents.\n\nIn 
 2020, we face down an even larger recession. Who will come first during 
 this pandemic and economic crisis? Who will benefit, and who will be thrown 
 aside? We must not be thrown aside again.\n\n** Please be sure to wear a 
 mask at all times, and stand at least six feet apart. Let's keep each other 
 safe! **\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/09/05/18836459.php
