Rep. Cori Bush spent the night on the Capitol steps to protest the end of an eviction moratorium that was ordered because of the pandemic.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Cori Bush, who was evicted three times and lived in her car with her two children before her career in politics, spent a sleepless night on the U.S. Capitol steps to protest the end Saturday of a freeze on evictions that was ordered because of the pandemic.
"Today, by midnight, if nothing happens, if no other action is taken from the House, or the Senate or the administration, 7 million people will be at risk for evictions," the Black congresswoman said."I've been there myself." Biden on Thursday had asked Congress to extend the moratorium and made clear that his administration would not extend it again without congressional approval.
