	"description": "The current public health crisis is putting millions of New Yorkers at risk. We need bold action to protect public health and ensure economic and racial justice, and community equity. As part of a broad set of emergency measures to protect New Yorkers’ health, safety, and financial security, Governor Cuomo and the Office of Court Administration should immediately halt all debt collection in New York. Low-income communities and communities of color are particularly at risk from the COVID-19 crisis and its economic fallout. These same communities disproportionately bear the brunt of fraudulent debt collection lawsuits, which siphon massive amounts of wealth from and destabilize entire neighborhoods. No New Yorker should face the unacceptable health risk of going to the courthouse to defend against a debt collection lawsuit, or find herself without access to her funds, unable to buy food, medicine or other necessities, because of a debt collection judgment. Similarly, whether newly executed or ongoing, enforcement of money judgments -- through bank account restraints, wage garnishments, tax refund offsets, liens, or other means -- will deprive New Yorkers of funds they desperately need to prepare for and endure the coronavirus public health emergency. Given the urgency of this moment, a moratorium on debt collection, along with other needed actions, will go a long way in the immediate term to protecting New Yorkers and providing much-needed financial relief.",
