COVID-19 Colorado Emergency Rent and debt forgiveness

We believe that an immediate moratorium on collecting rent and mortgage for the month of April and forgiveness of interest, late fees, or the owing of that month's rent in the future should be implemented. This moratorium and forgiveness should continue as long as the critical and necessary social distancing continues. With our jobs and schools shut down we must work together to insure our communities safety.

Why is this important?

As a group, the working class of Colorado have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well being. Renters, lessors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately.

Thank you so much for sign this petition! We are still trying to figure out best next steps on rent relief for folks in Colorado. As of now Gov Polis has made evictions unlawful in this time of crisis. Stay safe Colorado and stay home. https://www.colorado.gov/governor/
