Demand Congress put a moratorium on utility shutoffs during the coronavirus pandemic!

The coronavirus crisis has exposed the depth of inequality across our country. Already, millions of families are struggling to make ends meet – from paying rent or mortgages to affording basic necessities like food and water.

The COVID-19 pandemic has already put over 22 million people out of work, and this wave of unemployment is disproportionately affecting low-income households and communities of color. We can’t let our neighbors fall behind in this unprecedented crisis.

Now, more than ever, we need to make sure the most vulnerable have access to basic needs like electricity, water and internet utilities. We need to waive shutoffs and reinstate any services that have been canceled due to nonpayment.

That’s why we urgently need our grassroots supporters like you to add your name now and demand Congress take action to protect those who need support receiving utilities in these trying times. And we’re counting on you to sign the petition by midnight:

Sign the petition: Demand Congress put a moratorium on utility shutoffs during the coronavirus pandemic!
