Saturday saw a rally against violent evictions in Philadelphia, the protest coming after several tenants were shot recently while being served eviction notices, including two in the last week.
"We need protection," Theresa Howell said. "We need to know that if we get put out, we won’t get shot."
The protest happened just days after Philly’s Landlord Tenant Office agreed to temporarily stop performing evictions. The decision was made after one of their contractors shot a 33-year-old woman in the leg in Kensington, making it their third shooting in just a few months., Myriam Ramirez, said, "We cannot afford for LTO, or anyone who wants to come pull guns on people. They are not breaking the law. They just can’t move.".
