URGENT: The city plans to clear the PATCO encampment Wednesday (3/31) at 11am. Meet at 10am and prepare to defend residents, tents, and belongings from the city’s threat at 11am. Residents have confirmed they want people to come out and defend, and have expressed many thanks for the support so far.

The eviction moratorium was extended until June 30th, but the city isn’t extending this relief to our houseless neighbors. In fact, the city is ignoring the CDC’s advice, which clearly states that encampments should NOT be cleared as it encourages the spread of COVID throughout the city. Come out to support your neighbors, including many former JTD and COVID-hotel residents, as we make our city stronger. Remember, we keep us safe.

Bringing donations for residents is encouraged! PPE, food, and hygiene supplies are always useful.

Entrances to the PATCO underground can be found at 12th, 13th, and Broad along Locust.

This is PATCO encampment resident Jessica Renee Oliver, who was also a resident of JTD (tent city). She asked we spread this video as far and wide as we can. In it she shares her story, shows us some of the encampment, and talks about the unfairness of the upcoming eviction. At 1:30 you can see the damage done to her tent, her only home, by one of the “maintenance men” during a “clean up day”. At the end of the video she says she wishes all neighborhoods in Philly would rise up and make their own tent cities to care for the homeless.
