I would like to know for those who are unemployed like myself — what are our options? It’s not fair that we suddenly can’t pay our bills to no fault of our own. Is the government going to stop evictions? What about other bills? This truly isn’t fair. I haven’t worked in weeks.

Black Churches are Essential
