This just in from the Statewide Eviction and Foreclosure Moratorium Work-Group (Mass Law Reform Institute, Legal Services and other community organizations):
Please see this letter to the House and Senate Leadership and the Governor that will be signed by organizations statewide to push for strong eviction and foreclosure moratorium legislation to protect renters and homeowners over the course of the COVID-19 crisis.
Let’s make our united Western Massachusetts voice – across all sectors, across all communities – heard LOUD AND CLEAR. Organizations can sign on by Saturday, April 4 at 7 pm.
Sign on here.
The letter will be sent to Leadership and the Governor Sunday, April 5 at 12 noon. The Senate may vote on its bill as soon as Monday. The House passed a bill just yesterday (HB.4615). We need the Senate to build on the House bill to make it as strong as possible. The letter summarizes the key principles that must be included in the legislation to accomplish its goal: protect the lives of Massachusetts renters and homeowners.
Sign on here.
Please forward this email to all other networks!
