We call on our governor Tony Evers to place an immediate freeze on payments for rent and mortgage while we are experiencing a global pandemic. As our state is enacting a ban on groups of 10 or more people to reduce the spread of the virus, the working class is taking a large hit.

As a result of our compliance with this statewide ban, small businesses are closing, people are losing their jobs, and many sources of income are depleting. People that work paycheck to paycheck cannot keep up with payments for rent. It is unjust to be without housing in this crisis, to not continuously spread the virus to the immunodeficient people of our community.

We should not have to fear losing a place to live while we are being asked by the Governor to stay home and protect others in our community.

Please consider signing to encourage Tony Evers to protect those of us that have lost their jobs, lost sources of income, and are all fearing they have no place to go during this time.
