An elder had been violently and illegally self help evicted by their Landlord who has been found guilty on several misdemeanors. This will hopefully be her last day in court and a major victory for tenants.
Your support in court is greatly appreciated; if you can't attend, that's fine, but please share this with others that may be interested, especially law students, college students, tenants' rights organizations, etc. Please note, no one knows how long this will last, it could be a few hours or even all day.
