The following report was sent to us anonymously this morning:
CO-VID 19 has caused a nearly unprecedented level of unemployment throughout the country, and Milwaukee is not immune. With all the bars and restaurants closing and/or switching to take out, many people are out of work and will be unable to make their rent payments on April 1st.
We hung a banner declaring:
IF WE CAN’T WORK
WE CAN’T PAY
RENT STRIKE
A petition to governor Evers, asking that he suspend all rent, mortgage and utility collections during the Coronavirus Crisis has been making the rounds, and if governor Evers refuses to agree to our terms, we will have no choice but to rent strike!
Click here and sign the petition. If you don’t live in Wisconsin, sign it anyway, you can list your zip code as 53204.
