25K evictions filed in MA during pandemic. More evictions + foreclosures coming. Will our legislature pass the COVID19 Housing Equity bill to stop more needless suffering? Did WORDS about fighting racism & caring for workers mean anything? HomesForAllmass.org/act #HousingEquityMA

Our current moment and housing crisis is a racial justice issue. Evictions and covid affect BIPOC disproportionately. The fact that the Mass legislature doesn't see the crisis shows us that they are not aligned with our communities. #HousingEquityMA #EquidadDeVIvienda #MaPoli

The high cost of housing instability and evictions include social (loss of a sense of community)societal (increasing racial wealth gap), economic (legal fees and moving costs), and health (increased anxiety and depression). We need #right2purchase to #stabilizeourcommunities

23,000+ evictions filed in MA during the pandemic, most for nonpayment, despite available federal rent assistance $. 1 reason: our state's awful assistance process. For ex, "O" is a Lynn tenant told after > 2 MONTHS of providing all requested info he must start the process over.
