      Rent was due on April 1. For millions of people across the country who had lost their jobs, paying it was nearly impossible. For these tenants, there was only one solution: They informed their landlords they were going on strike.🧵👇http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54 pic.twitter.com/OiUZgDx1Pr

      Data shows that 31% of renters across the country didn’t pay on April 1. Nearly 10 million people were already struggling to afford rent before the #Covid19 crisis, and there are estimates that at least 1.5 million will now be in the same boat. http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54 pic.twitter.com/w3fd1AxCbg

      Rent strikers face an uneven legal landscape: Under normal circumstances, there’s nothing preventing a landlord from evicting someone who refuses to pay rent. But some cities and states have issued measures to keep tenants from being kicked out, for now. http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54 pic.twitter.com/jlmHztMW3u

      In New York City, rent strikes have worked before: A 1907 strike paved the way for rent control in the state. And in the 1960s, rent strikers succeeded in legalizing tenants’ power to withhold rent over shoddy housing conditions.http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54

      There’s also power in numbers, especially amidst a pandemic. If a landlord evicts the entire building, they will likely have a hard time filling those units with people who are willing, and able, to pay. http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54 pic.twitter.com/qAjpverUuI

      For many renters, withholding rent isn’t an attack on landlords—rather, it’s meant to call into question the entire system that allowed this predicament to emerge. Full story: http://read.medium.com/FxdXj54 pic.twitter.com/RGHUAO3Ba6

          @KamalaHarris Not working means not making money. Quarantine only works when we abide. However there is the threat of not being able to afford shelter

          What system? Someone owns a building and they rent it to you. You pay monthly. If you cant pay then you get evicted. Not sure what a viable alternative would be?

          Right. Though, I wish minimum space requirements would be lifted; I'd like to see micro-apartments become available. Also, a go-between "flop houses" and expensive (often executive) short-term rentals would be great.

          “Not an attack on landlords”. Except, it is. In many cases, these are ordinary people. Not millionaires and billionaires. If these landlords are paying the mortgage with rent, then I guess mortgages should be cancelled, too. Cancel everything then. 🤷🏼‍♀️
