Petition Against Eviction
Tell North Carolina State and County Governments: We demand an indefinite moratorium on all evictions for all affected NC counties.
Stable housing is a human right, but even more so, it’s an integral part of public safety during this ongoing disaster. Working-class communities are already suffering the worst effects of this disaster; We need to ensure we have access to safe housing for the duration of this crisis and after. Sign the petition
