The Campaign for Equal Dignity hosted a town-hall with scholars, activists, community leaders, and engaged citizens to discuss our country’s serious eviction problem and discuss strategies for combating this crisis while exploring the ways COVID-19’s economic impacts have exacerbated this issue.
We are extremely proud to collaborate with Princeton University’s Eviction Lab on this program; the depth of their experience will add so much to the dialogue.
