Reasons for signing

  • Too many people will lose income over the virus and will not be able to pay rent or mortgage on top of the food demands

  • This country provides no social safety net for people who lose their jobs anyway, and now so many have lost jobs just because they have to stay home or their employer can't survive the pandemic. Why should anyone be denied the basic necessity of shelter?
    Jessica P. 2020-07-19 15:02:09 -0700
  • They have to stop work, meaning they can't make money and this is all because they COULD potentially have the virus. It is not fair for them to keep going on with their daily lives, paying rent, mortgage, and other payments if the world is turned upside down on it's head and they cannot go to work!

We are rapidly approaching 90,000 signatures and with that, I would like to touch on an issue that has been brought up to me several times. What's going to happen to landlords/property owners if this goes into effect? Dont you care about their families as well? I dont know what will happen. My only hope is to find a solution to provide EVERYONE affected with assistance so that we can all get through this unscathed. This petition does not guarantee anything. It only shows how united we are when it comes to taking care of each other. I do not want anyone, including property owners, to be without. Thank you for your continued support on the matter.

Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support. I didn't imagine my cause would gain so much traction. It's upsetting to see the state people are being left in due to closures but, heartwarming to see how many people care. I didnt have a goal when I first started but, after doing a little research, I found out that 100,000 is the amount that requires a response from the White House. I'm not sure if state government has a certain number but, until I find out otherwise, 100,000 will be the goal. If you have any more information on this, please contact me and please continue to share. Thank you! Stay safe!
