Rent Strike 2020 will never sell your information to a third party.

We welcome other grassroots organizations to combine efforts with us in advocating for the popular demands of regular working people. For more information, please email contact@rentstrike2020.org.

To New York Governor Andrew Cuomo:

COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus) has been classified as a global pandemic. New York already has at least 732 cases statewide, including 6 deaths. State and federal officials are encouraging people who feel sick to stay home, but many workers already struggle to make rent or mortgage payments. The choice to skip work for the sake of community health could leave them and their families unsheltered.

In order to protect the health and housing security of our community, we, the undersigned, call on Governor Cuomo to act now so workers won't have to make that choice. Specifically, we call for a suspension of all rent, mortgage, and utility payments for 2 full months to allow people to do what they need to in order to take care of themselves, their loved ones, and the community.

The legacy of every public official currently serving will be determined in the next few months.
It's time to act now, and choose the right side of history. Choose the people.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Markets are falling back again and more companies are shutting production and laying off workers as the virus outbreak rips through the global economy.

Here is a look at the latest developments:

HEAVY INDUSTRY: BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said Wednesday the luxury automaker is closing its plants in Europe and in Rosslyn, South Africa until April 19 to adjust production to diminished demand due to the virus outbreak.

Zipse said in remarks prepared for the company's annual news conference in Munich that the company was seeking to protect its employees and their families and to maintain its operational capacity for the time when the outbreak has passed.

Zipse referred to the company weathering the 2008-9 global economic and financial crisis and said that “even in the current situation, we remain confident. There will be a time during the coronavirus. And there will be a time after the coronavirus.”

MARKETS: Major Asian and European stock markets have fallen back after Wall Street rallied on President Donald Trump's promise to prop up the economy through the coronavirus outbreak.

The White House's proposal could approach $1 trillion. Market benchmarks in Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong all advanced in early trading but fell by midday. European indexes were down by over 3%. A growing number of investors sees a U.S. recession as likely if not already here.

The Federal Reserve also announced its latest emergency move to get markets running more smoothly. Analysts say the measures are a good start but investors need to see the number of infections slow before markets can find a bottom.
 
Tenant coalition demands $10B in “housing relief” in light of coronavirus

New York tenant advocates are demanding billions in funding for housing and a suspension of rent, mortgage and utility payments during the coronavirus outbreak.
The coalition, Housing Justice for All, is using a public health crisis to push its solution for the 92,000 people who are homeless across the state. The group is asking for $10 billion to invest in “housing relief,” demanding homeless persons be immediately rehoused in vacant homes, and asking for rental subsidies in the form of vouchers. The funding would also support public housing, not-for-profit housing and subsidized housing.
The group is also calling for the state to suspend rent, mortgage and utility payments, on the heels of a statewide eviction ban in place since Monday.
“An eviction moratorium is an urgent first step, but we need a suspension of unaffordable rent and automatic forgiveness of any rent or mortgage, utility, or rent owed or accumulated during the length of this crisis,” the plan reads.
The tenant coalition also seeks to block any landlord from price gouging any commercial or residential tenant who cannot pay rent, and points out that “mom-and-pop” landlords would also benefit from a mortgage suspension. The state has not said yet whether it will place a moratorium on mortgages, as it did for evictions, but sources say the Office of Court Administration is in active discussions with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office to do so.
It is unclear what path forward any of these measures will have. Cuomo has said he will push through a budget at the end of this week, instead of April 1st, and approving new funding for housing during a public health crisis may be difficult.
Yet the tenant coalition says the connection between health and secure housing is more evident than ever.
“Housing is healthcare,” a spokesperson for HJ4A said. “An eviction moratorium is the first step, but right now it’s critical that every New Yorker is safely housed, especially those who are currently without homes or most in danger of losing their homes due to loss of income.”

Coronavirus Updates
 
White House plans hundreds of billions in stimulus​
The Trump administration has called for $1 trillion in spending, including $250 billion for direct payments to Americans, as the federal government prepares to fight the coronavirus pandemic and an almost certain recession.​
The Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, told Republican senators on Tuesday that he envisioned sums covering two weeks’ pay going out to Americans by the end of April, according to people familiar with the discussion.​
In other developments:​
■ There are now known coronavirus cases in all 50 states, after West Virginia reported its first confirmed infection on Tuesday. As of this morning, the U.S. has more than 5,800 confirmed cases; at least 107 patients have died.​
■ Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York said on Tuesday that the city would decide whether to institute a “shelter in place” order “in the next 48 hours.” But such an order would need the approval of state officials, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo later cautioned: “There is not going to be any quarantine.”​
■ Shutdowns in the retail and hospitality businesses may be an early sign of coming job losses. Marriott International, the hotel operator, said it would furlough tens of thousands of employees worldwide, and small businesses are laying off workers outright.​
■ Global markets fell sharply today, after a big rally on Wall Street. Here’s the latest.​
■ To put estimates of the eventual U.S. toll from the virus in context, we compared them with other leading causes of death.​
■ The European Union banned nonessential travel from the rest of the world into 26 member nations for 30 days.​
■ Contestants on Germany’s version of “Big Brother” have been secluded since Feb. 10, when most confirmed infections were in China. On Tuesday, they were told what has happened since.​
