Thoughts from Vicky Osterweil on today’s non-eviction in Philly and the challenges in defending fixed spaces: https://twitter.com/vicky_acab/status/1295789218405457921

Yeah this is exactly what we should focus on during the largest housing crisis, a pandemic, and largest anti police uprising in history. Let's just ignore uprising constituents and make their favorite spot to swim in the summer dangerous so their kids get injured jumping next year. So tone deaf

OTG: Broadstreet line southbound is temporarily shut down because of train breaking down. Shuttle bus is being deployed

OTG: we think the shuttle bus broke down too. A tow truck just drove past carrying a bus

It would be a shame if all 697 of you called PHA tomorrow to leave complaints about the authority's policies and how it should be abolished if it cant meet demands. Let's hold their phone lines up and demand an end to homelessness by providing permanent housing.

(215) 684-4000

While you're at it, call everyone of your elected officials and tell them it's time to put an end to homelessness by guaranteeing housing in every community.

You know what else politicians hate? Mail. Lets do a mass mail in through the post office sending letters to all of our politicians. This will help fund the post office for the election while also fighting the paywall to access a shelter.

Update from the camp: the court is still discussing. Verdict anticipated around 4pm now. Witnesses still being heard. There are concerns that there will be a middle of the night raid, but that really depends on what happens with the ruling.

"Demonstration outside city hall terminated without incident at 3:22 pm" per scanner

Something about demonstrations resumed at city hall and the encampment. Might just be a switch of who is watching.
