An excluded workers fund "would enable workers who do not qualify for unemployment insurance" to "receive $3,300 in monthly financial assistance," including our #EssentialAndExcluded workers!

July 1. Rent is due. Without a vaccine to treat the pandemic, HOUSING was the prescription. We were told to stay at home.
But we failed our neighbors. Mayors could have housed the unhoused, Governors/Congress could have cancelled rents. This inaction has and will cost lives.

from @nytimes: "de Blasio may have agreed to eliminate a July class of officers, but another class is poised to start in Oct. The rest of the city’s workforce, expect those in health/safety roles such as firefighters/paramedics, will remain in a hiring freeze for the next year."

Thank you, @AOC, for telling it like it is: canceling mortgage payments but not rent is an issue of race and class. Don’t turn your back on New York’s working class, @NYGovCuomo. Suspend rent now! #CancelRent #HousingisHealthcare

Which side are you on -- people or property? #CancelRent
amy khoshbin retweeted
.@NYGovCuomo is not cute. It is not cute to leave millions of New Yorkers who can't make rent --or have to choose between paying rent and buying food -- out to dry, *in the middle of a pandemic.* #CancelRent

You do not have a moral obligation to pay rent. We all have a moral obligation to protect and care for each other, especially in times of crisis. #HousingIsAHumanRight #CancelRent

This makes no sense. Sanctions are economic warfare.
They have already caused medical shortages and countless deaths in Iran.
You cannot claim to want deescalation and then announce new sanctions with no clear goal. This is not a measured response!
