Terri Anderson","description":"Even after we manage to contain the public health crisis brought on by Covid-19, the danger isn\u2019t over in Spokane. The economic crisis has left thousands of people without steady employment and, as a result, thousands of our neighbors are behind on their utility bills and behind on rent. <br/><br/>This almost exclusively affects the poor, and because of our nation\u2019s legacy  of white supremacy and Spokane\u2019s history of redlining, that burden disproportionately impacts people of color. <br/><br/>It\u2019s not a good scene. <br/><br/>Washington state has a temporary eviction moratorium in place but that\u2019s like a finger in the dike. It\u2019s holding back disaster for now, but unless we take serious action, there\u2019s no stopping a flood of evictions. <br/><br/>The good news is, there\u2019s a path to mitigating the short term crisis while also creating a fairer and more just legal and support system for renters from here on out. <br/><br/>We talk about all of this and more with Terri Anderson, Spokane Director and Policy Lead for the Tenants Union of Washington this week on the podcast. <br/><br/>TAKE ACTION<br/><br/>Contact <a href=\"https://leg.wa.gov/Senate/Senators/Pages/default.aspx\">your state senator</a> about:<br/><br/>SB 5160 | Offramp from the moratorium that helps tenants stay housed <br/><br/>SB 5169 | Prohibits rent increases for six months after the moratorium & limits increases to no more than CPI from six months to one year.<br/><br/>Contact <a href=\"https://app.leg.wa.gov/Rosters/MembersByDistrictAndCounties/House\">your state reps</a> about:<br/><br/>HB 1236 | Just cause evictions <br/><br/>HB 1300 | Damage deposit reform.<br/><br/>Contact the Tenants Union <br/><br/>Call <a href=\"tel:5094647620\">509-464-7620</a>\u00a0<br/><br/>Email Terri at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:terria@tenantsunion.org\">terria@tenantsunion.org</a>. <br/><br/>FURTHER LISTENING<br/><br/>EPISODE 20 | <a href=\"https://www.rangemedia.co/p/episode-020-house-money-feat-ben\">House Money feat.
