The Situation:

  • In Virginia, there are an estimated 550,000 families, mostly African American and Latinx, who do not know how they will pay their August rent.
  • The VA Supreme Court Eviction Moratorium ends September 7th. They have signaled this will be the last one they issue.
  • The one person in Virginia who can have the biggest impact right now to stop eviction is Governor Northam. The General Assembly convenes this Tuesday to consider this issue in part.
