This April 1st, millions of people[br]won't be able to afford their rent.

0:00:09.086,0:00:11.575
Like the COVID-19 pandemic itself,

0:00:11.575,0:00:13.376
this is the predictable consequence

0:00:13.376,0:00:14.881
of a system that was never designed

0:00:14.881,0:00:16.918
to keep us safe in the first place.

0:00:19.280,0:00:21.223
We were already struggling to get by,

0:00:21.223,0:00:23.165
living from paycheck to paycheck.

0:00:23.165,0:00:24.722
Now we face illness,

0:00:24.722,0:00:25.833
unemployment,

0:00:25.833,0:00:26.926
and disaster.

0:00:27.171,0:00:29.383
But together, we can get through this.

0:00:29.733,0:00:31.873
From this April on, let's keep our rent

0:00:31.873,0:00:33.330
and mortgage payments

0:00:33.330,0:00:35.197
and defend everyone who can't pay.

0:00:35.695,0:00:38.197
Why should we keep fattening [br]the pockets of the rich

0:00:38.197,0:00:40.105
when so many of us are in need?

0:00:40.105,0:00:43.904
Banks and landlords should not be able [br]to go on profiting off our homes

0:00:44.114,0:00:46.411
when we have no way to earn money.

0:00:46.411,0:00:47.965
That's just common sense.

0:00:48.369,0:00:50.596
The government looks out for big business.

0:00:50.606,0:00:53.220
It's up to us to look out for each other.

0:00:54.050,0:00:55.596
Reach out to your neighbours.

0:00:55.596,0:00:56.829
Build defence groups.

0:00:56.829,0:00:58.883
Identify local pressure points.

0:00:58.883,0:01:00.322
Talk tactics.

0:01:00.322,0:01:01.468
Be creative.

0:01:01.468,0:01:03.362
Prepare to stop evictions.

0:01:03.822,0:01:06.562
The more people who participate[br]the safer all of us will be.

0:01:07.022,0:01:09.527
Together we can overwhelm[br]the courts and sheriffs

0:01:09.527,0:01:11.819
that enforce the special[br]privileges of the rich.

0:01:13.054,0:01:15.130
The virus threatens our lives.

0:01:15.130,0:01:16.930
But it also threatens the social order

0:01:16.930,0:01:19.207
that was already making[br]our lives impossible.

0:01:20.027,0:01:23.630
Together, we can [br]outline both of them.

0:01:23.630,0:01:24.410
This April

0:01:26.895,0:01:28.844
And tell your neighbours[br]to keep theirs too.
