#OTG Supporters still not being allowed in to witness and help move belongings. No residents have been allowed to leave the barricades with their belongings yet. They have been barricaded in while cops and OHS try to force inadequate “solutions” on them such as shelters, many of which are triggering and unrealistic to residents. Supporters waiting to be able to help those who don’t want city services move their belongings.

This is how the city treats its most vulnerable residents. Shameful. If you’ve been thinking of heading down to offer support, folks there would still appreciate it.

#OTG Traffic on 12th has resumed. The barricades were removed after all residents had been chased away or forced into shelter scenarios. A crowd of supporters still lingering and informing passerbys of what is happening.

#OTG Most residents and supporters gone now. OHS and two cops have locked themselves in the Jefferson Station entrance on Filbert with the last remaining resident. A small crowd of supporters remains to check in with her when they finish.

#OTG Police have left the scene after one last van was temporarily blocked by remaining protestors in a show of solidarity with the houseless who were just evicted. Cops put hands on protestors to take them out of the street and drove off.

Do you have donations for your houseless neighbors, including some who were evicted from Reading Terminal today? Today at 7PM at the above ground subway entrance near 13th and Locust people will be collecting donations for residents at the PATCO and others who are houseless in Center City.
