Bernie Speaks to the Nation

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Along with pausing mortgage payments, evictions, and utility shutoffs, we must place a moratorium on rent payments, especially in states hardest-hit by the coronavirus like New York. We must build on the important work @SenGianaris and others are doing to make this happen.

Sen. Mike Gianaris @SenGianaris

We are not moving fast enough. We must #CancelRent and provide other relief ASAP “Most working-class workers rent their home. Non-debt financial obligations—a category that includes rents—are higher than before the financial crisis.” https://t.co/b8U7DrYxkB

5 days ago - Sen. Bernie Sanders hosts a town hall with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and public health experts about the coronavirus, how we should respond, and what to expect.

“In terms of potential deaths and the impact on our economy, the crisis we face from coronavirus is on the scale of a major war, and we must act accordingly. We must begin thinking on a scale comparable to the threat, and make sure that we are protecting working people, low-income people, and the most vulnerable communities, not just giant corporations and Wall Street.” - Bernie Sanders
