Rent Strike Alexandria

Rent Strike Alexandria Due to the impact of COVID-19, we are facing a health and economic crisis that affects all of us. More than ever, families and neighbors need to stick together.

We are demanding that rent be cancelled until the pandemic is over! No Job, No Rent!

IWW members marched on the boss of a restaurant in Plymouth to demand the payment of wages owed to a member. They succeeded in regaining £370 of unpaid wages!

We've heard the concerns of the people! Not all our neighbors have access to stimulus checks, and there are very real concerns with affording food during this crisis.

In response members of Revolutionary Education and Defense within the community are working on baking bread to make sure each family has something healthy to eat. Due to the shortage of yeast we've worked out a delicious recipe for cornbread (the results pictured below) and are ready to start producing loaves in large quantities.

We need your help though. If you live in the DMV and have free time, baking cornbread for the people is a great way to support the strike even if you don't live in Alexandria. If you do not have the requisite supplies members of Revolutionary Education and Defense can provide them to you.

If you are interested please shoot us a message on here or text into the hotline.

Since the beginning our demands have been clear. We have not inquired about rent relief. We have demanded: No Job, No Rent!

City Council has already passed a resolution requesting that property managers and landlords to cancel rent during the crisis, and the Judicial Emergency has been extended until May 17th. Yet we are recieving reports from our neighbors that eviction notices are still being put on people's doors, and residents are still getting harassed about unpaid rent.

On a final note, Morgan Properties cares so little for the working people of West Alexandria that they did not even fill out the form before sending it out, and left in "{insert name of property here}"!

Stand beside your neighbors to combat slumlord tactics and keep all our families housed during this crisis!

NO JOB, NO RENT!

While residents at Southern Towers are preparing to strike, city leadership is caught in the middle of trying to negotiate a ceasefire before things escalate. Residents at the West End apartment complex, many of whom have service industry jobs and were recently laid off due to the pandemic, have
