Friday, April 24, 7-8:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Are you a renter in Columbus? Did you struggle to pay rent on April 1 or will you struggle on May 1? Join us on Friday, April 24 for a virtual Zoom meeting to discuss how renters in Columbus can fight to stay in our homes, defeat evictions, and avoid going into debt from missed payments.

On April 1, almost 1/3 of all apartment renters weren’t able to pay rent as millions face layoffs or hour reductions under the coronavirus crisis and economic meltdown. Instead of massive bailouts to billion-dollar corporations, we need real protections for working people.

Locally, tenants have been fighting for rent reductions and rent suspensions using a number of tactics, including threatening rent strikes. Organizing with our neighbors, and people renting from the same agencies is the best way we can protect ourselves. Connecting with other renters across the city and country through the Rent Strike 2020 movement can help us fight for a suspension of all rent, mortgage, and utility payments, with no accumulated debt.

Join us to talk about the rent crisis, meet your neighbors, and discuss concrete organizing tactics. #CancelRent!

Hosted by Lychee Ling [Johnny Langston] and Rent Strike Columbus Ohio.
