On COVID Anniversary, Justice Groups Gather in D.C. to Demand Utility-shutoffs Moratorium
WASHINGTON The national #NoShutOffs Coalition and We Power DC mobilized today outside the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services building to call on President Biden and local D.C. officials to impose a moratorium on power, water and broadband shutoffs.
One year after COVID-19 was declared a national emergency in the United States, millions of households have either experienced utility shutoffs or are at risk of losing access to these vital utilities because of the massive economic downturn.
