For those confused. You basically have to apply to not be evicted. So courts are still open
"If you are a renter -- in an apartment, house or mobile home -- you are protected by the eviction moratorium through the end of the year, as long as you meet the following requirements:
--You are unable to pay your rent due to a coronavirus-related job loss or income reduction.
--You qualified for a direct stimulus payment under the CARES Act or expect to earn less than $99,000 in 2020, or $198,000 if filing a joint tax return.
--You have made an effort to get available government assistance to cover rent, available to you or a household member
--You can demonstrate that your inability to pay is because of financial hardship due to Covid-19, that you have made your best efforts to make timely partial payments and that you would likely become homeless if you were evicted."

🚨🚨 if you're showing up to eviction court today, shoot us a quick message on @Grittybot! The more it's kept closed, the fewer people can be evicted. 🚨🚨
OTG: large crowd massing at west side of city hall. Speakers calling chants, peaceful assembly
Call for all City Council to create a defunding plan for Philadelphia police along with the abolishion of the FOP and PAC. It's worth noting that only one sitting council person put herself out there and voted against the police budget in the middle of the uprisings in June. Thank you Kendra Brooks.
OTG: Crowd is growing, Market blocked off. Police seem relaxed so far but have a presence around City Hall and MSB
Most likely travel corridors for police. Race arch, chestnut walnut, 15th 16th, 13th 12th, 20th 21st, 7th 8th
