Dozens of NY Housing Activists Arrested Demanding Halt to Looming Evictions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York, over a dozen housing activists were arrested Thursday as
hundreds of protesters took to the streets demanding local lawmakers
take action on a full eviction moratorium and tenant protection during
the pandemic. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has failed to extend a
pandemic eviction ban, which expired yesterday as rent came due.
