00:00 - WE JUST SHUT DOWN EVERY SINGLE MORNING DOCKET and this is our message:
00:00 - Every eviction is an act of violence. Whether it’s an eviction from a home, a tent, a camp. Every eviction is an act of violence. Whether it’s a pandemic, it’s summer, or it’s winter. Every eviction is an act of violence.
- We are horrified to learn the news that a Kansas City landlord has murdered his tenant for requesting that he fix the heat. Our hearts go out to the family of Darryl "Brent" Gillard Jr. and especially his partner Samantha Pohlman who witnessed the attack.
- KC TENANTS AND JACKSON COUNTY VOTERS SHUT DOWN THE STADIUM SALES TAX. The largest transfer of public funds to private enterprises in our region’s history, $2 billion over 40 years. The people took on the billionaires. The people won. Nothing is inevitable if we organize.
