Illinois' eviction moratorium is set to expire on September 18th -- in just a few weeks. If our moratorium is not extended, there could be massive waves of evictions throughout Champaign county, forcing many of us & our neighbors to become homeless and triggering a spike in COVID cases. <br class=""><br class="">As such, we're merging our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/576368900063329/" class="">Black August rally</a> planned for <b class="">tomorrow </b>(8/28) at <b class="">4PM </b>outside the Sheriff's office at <b class="">204 E. Main St, Urbana </b>with an anti-eviction action called for by the <a href="https://www.canceltherents.org/" class="">Cancel the Rents</a> campaign. In addition to demanding an end to police militarization & abysmal jail conditions, we'll be calling on the Sheriff to refuse to carry out evictions. <div class=""><br class=""><img alt="CancelTheRents.jpg" width="705" height="705" class="" apple-inline="yes" id="B699050A-06CD-4386-BDAC-156505EBE801" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:ii_ksv5uu320"><br class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Incarceration and the housing crisis are deeply intertwined issues, especially as more and more cities across the country move to criminalize homelessness. The same law enforcement officers who carry out racist terror will soon be carrying out evictions against working class and oppressed people across the country. Please join us tomorrow in an emergency mobilization to hold law enforcement accountable and renew the struggle against evictions.<br class=""><br class="">Solidarity!<br class="">PSL-CU</div></div>
