Tell Congress To Pass Moratorium On Arrears In Mortgages And Rentals
Congress should use their emergency powers to declare a nationwide mortgage and rental moratorium to prevent even more tragedy from this worldwide coronavirus pandemic -- as Italy just did.
Some people will be lucky enough to keep their jobs and pay their bills. Many more won't, and those people will fall too far behind to ever catch up. Many homeowners will also die and their families will be left to deal with it.

Why is this important?
Those of us who lived through the 2008 crash and Great Recession saw the lasting economic effects of so many Americans who could no longer afford to pay their mortgages and rents. It ruined lives, and many Americans never recovered. It depressed the economy for a very long time. Let's not make the same mistake twice.
Ask Congress to pass legislation that will maintain the economic stability of American families while we navigate this crisis.
