That's what I would think too...
2 routes, combinable.
1. Pro bono or pay in instalments / later when the emergency is over, legal services. Especially since your behavior is legal, you are the wronged party, AND it is during an emergency in a worldwide health crisis.
2. Contact the press.
Human tragedies like that and literal evil landlords & insurance parasiting on tragedy are well selling stories, put right. And can help fundraising, practically.
Which also yes - fund raising.
Anyone publicizing your cause yet, other than having locals be aware?
3. Communities of color are awesome organizers.
Spread the word wide.
Tell other people of color part of that discrimination is plain racism. Ask who does race/ethnicity specific legal advocacy.
And in discussions, I'd totally start by on whose behalf you're speaking, like your husband and others / family and kin, just so PoC folk don't mishear when they hear you're white, yourself. ;)
