Kansas City Housing Activists Chain Themselves to Doors of Eviction Court
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kansas City, housing advocates protesting evictions during the
COVID-19 pandemic chained themselves to the front doors of the Jackson

eviction hearings. Activists with the group KC Tenants have referred to
evictions during the pandemic as "acts of violence."
