Shaw captures the #RightsRest in action. Housing-Health link now undeniable. Let’s recognise. We need aff. housing as much as other responses. They define living costs. And yes, climate action!

Billionaires should just pay their fair share of #taxes
"Well-publicized philanthropy also conveniently distracts attention from how several of these billionaires are endangering their workers and, by extension, the public"

Thinking about how things look when we get through this. What emergency measures will land as permanent positions? How much will our current global recognition of housing as critical STICK, when all said and done. Big boom in NZ social housing would be a good start too
@QuietResilient Thanks Warren! A very important point and I hope part of the recovery phase is a boom in publicly funded housing (and a new respect for the housing and the people who live in the homes)
Let's flatten the inequality curve.
The winners from the last financial crisis are sitting on enormous amounts of wealth. Governments should now work towards fairer society. Let's share the pain.
Companies like Blackstone should step in and not just talk about helping people, but actually do it. Lower the rent for people who are now out of work!-@FredrikGertten

Consideration of mortgage and rent moratorium needed urgently in Aotearoa as jobs are being impacted NOW - especially vulnerable and non permanent workers
2/3 of NYC residents are renters.
Now that New York State has issued a MORTGAGE moratorium, we must also enact a RENT moratorium to prevent mass displacement.
Relief and protection from displacement shouldn’t just be for homeowners and the wealthy.
It should be for everyone.
"I am urging States to take extraordinary measures to secure the right to housing for all to protect against the pandemic," says Special Rapporteur on the #Right2Housing@leilanifarha on #COVI19. Read the Press Release here:

@Push_TheFilm@FredrikGertten@leilanifarha@SaskiaSassen 1st day of confinement and my wife and I have just had a heated debate on why there should be a comprehensive capital gains tax in nz as a means towards addressing the housing crisis. hopefully PUSH will convince her?
.@leilanifarha writes about how her recent visit to New Zealand further illustrated to her how "in essence, treating housing as a commodity is creating a global crisis." theguardian.com/commentisfree/… via @guardian
NZ has a UBI. It just happens to start at 65. Don’t let the wealth of some peversely undermine a safety net that means we have among the lowest rates of elderly poverty in the world.
Don’t introduce hoops. Universalise baseline support for all, regardless of age. Tax wealth.
Everyone deserves to age with dignity. If we’re concerned about some senior citizens being too wealthy while receiving superannuation we should introduce a tax on wealth + an income tax bracket for those earning over $100K, not dismantle our universal superannuation programme
Our Canadian and NZ experiences interplode - evidence of structured injustice. @leilanifarha shedding light on the right to housing in NZ tmrw but we need to land the messages
