NO EVICTIONS #CANCELTHERENT March/Rally

JUFJ is cosponsoring this event led by our coalition partner CASA.

As Evictions resume July 25, tenants who lost jobs to coronavirus evict Governor Hogan.

‼️Note: This is an emergency action if no action is taken by Hogan before the 24th. Evictions are set to resume on July 25th.

Background: Tenants and advocates from across Maryland will convene in the state’s capitol to tell Governor Hogan that TIME’S UP for him to act to protect Maryland renters from eviction. With courts resuming eviction cases on the 25th and approx 145K Marylanders at risk of eviction – we are convening in person to demand the following actions be taken:

✅Allocate at least $175 million to rental assistance and eviction protection from both state and federal funds.

✅Expand the eviction moratorium to cover all types of eviction cases and extend the moratorium until the public health emergency ends, and residents have sufficient relief.

✅Prohibit rental late fees and debt collection activities on rental payment during the State of Emergency and for at least one year after the State of Emergency is lifted.
