Due to the large-scale coronavirus restrictions, countless people have been put out of work and are unable to afford necessities, like groceries, utilities, and, perhaps their largest expense, rent. We've seen that as the crisis becomes increasingly severe, more and more Americans have been overcome with financial anxiety, wondering how they'll be able to pay their landlords once the first of the month rolls around. In an effort to protect these vulnerable citizens, activists and union leaders have attempted to gather support for a nationwide rent strike—and the movement appears to be gaining momentum.
