Gov Murphy: Suspend Rent, Mortgage, Credit & Utilities Payments During the COVID19 Crisis

The Issue

To NJ Governor Phil Murphy:

COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus) has been classified as a global pandemic. NJ already has at least 742 cases statewide, including 9 deaths AND COUNTING.  State and federal officials are encouraging people to stay home and self-quarantine but many workers will struggle to make rent, mortgage payments, credit cards and utilities. The choice to skip work for the sake of community health could leave them and their families unsheltered and financially stressed.

In order to protect the health and housing security of our community, we, the undersigned, call on Governor Murphy to act now so workers won't have to make that choice. Specifically, we call for a suspension of all rent, mortgage, credit card, 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.
