Housing and homeless advocates protested outside of Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home Saturday demanding the House speaker reconvene Congress to pass an extension to the expiring eviction moratorium.
The House adjourned Friday for summer recess without passing legislation to extend a nationwide ban on evictions that is set to expire Saturday, prompting outrage from the progressive Squad and an overnight protest at the Capitol.
About 40 activists headed to Pelosi’s home on Saturday to tape an “eviction notice” on her door to remind the speaker that millions of Americans will be facing eviction starting this weekend while she sleeps comfortably in her posh home.

You need to set fires and throw bricks thru the windows. Your to damn peaceful.
You don’t want to be evicted? I have a novel idea. PAY YOUR RENT/MORTGAGE! Get a Job! Don’t tell me you can’t find a job, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a “Now Hiring” sign. Or are you just too damn lazy and want to continue being a freeloader! I’m sorry did I hurt someone’s tender feelings, no wait, I’m not sorry!
they already gave them money to pay their rent and mortgage
Several of the protestors had to go, so they took dumps on the sidewalks around her house.
The Home and Garden section of the local newspaper wrote that this actually improved the looks of her property!
