COVID 19 EMERGENCY RENT AND DEBT FORGIVENESS IN MICHIGAN
Waive rent, mortgages and other debts until we are all able to return back to work. We must protect our limited cash flow, ensure people can keep their homes, and protect credit ratings immediately.
Why is this important?
The coronavirus pandemic has millions being laid off of work or unable to work, and we must do everything we can to alleviate suffering, ensure people keep their homes and ability to protect themselves, and prevent lasting damages like bad credit scores.
As a group, the working class of Michigan 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.
