No one should be forced out of their home in the middle of a pandemic.
COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of having a safe, secure place to call home.
Right now thousands of tenants are unable to pay their rent and are about to be evicted. Many have nowhere to go. It’s not safe to force people to find shelter, apartment hunt, crash with friends or family, or survive on the street while the virus is spreading in our communities. It’s putting people at risk of catching and spreading COVID-19.
We need the Provincial government to take action on this important issue and pass Ontario NDP Jessica Bell and Suze Morrison's bill banning COVID evictions.
Read on for ways to get involved, including social media shares, phone script, and an email template.

My name is YOUR NAME. I'm calling on you to support Bill 244 banning evictions during the pandemic.
It’s not safe to force people to risk homelessness, crash with friends, or look for a home in a pandemic. This will contribute to the spread of COVID-19. We need an eviction ban passed immediately.
Thank you.
