    The federal eviction moratorium is set to expire in December leaving
    an estimated 30 million people at risk of eviction. Members of
    Congress are still unable to reach an agreement on a relief bill that
    will extend the moratorium, as well as other important programs that
    were included in the CARES Act early in the year. I speak with two
    people about what is being done in their communities. They provide
    examples for others in similar situations. Joey Lankowski is with Food
    Not Bombs Las Vegas. They are building tiny home communities to keep
    people sheltered and physically separated when they have nowhere else
    to go. Then I speak with William X Nietzsche whose family was
    victimized by predatory lending practices about what they are doing to
    keep their home. Many people in the community have rallied around
    them, building an eviction defense camp around their house.
