As the leading civil rights organization in our state, the ACLU of North Dakota believes in keeping the public informed about the state of their civil liberties. The work we do at the legislature, in the courts, and in our communities is important, but there is no better defender of civil rights than a public that is informed and engaged.
Several area nonprofit organizations are asking the state to do more to protect the health and safety of all North Dakotans and are calling on Gov. Doug Burgum to issue a temporary eviction moratorium/freeze on foreclosures during the COVID-19 crisis.
It’s not just concerns about health that have some North Dakotans worried. Housing is also a major issue – particularly for those whose income has been impacted because of involuntary unemployment, extended sickness or required quarantine.
Like you, we at the ACLU of North Dakota have been watching closely as COVID-19 news changes by the hour.
