Cori Bush and Elizabeth Warren Intro Eviction Ban Bill as Housing Activists Rally in D.C.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from D.C., Congressmember Cori Bush and Senator Elizabeth
Warren have introduced legislation that would reinstate the federal
pandemic eviction moratorium and give the Health and Human Services
Department permanent authority to enact an eviction ban during public
health crises. The bill was unveiled at an anti-eviction rally Tuesday
outside Congress, led by people who have been evicted or are facing
eviction. This is Vivian Smith, a leader with the Miami Workers Center.

Vivian Smith: "I've been forced to choose between food, rent too many
times. Many of us had to make the choice or the choices between our
health or our homes. The rent eat first."

Audience member: "That ain't right!"
