“Philadelphia received praise in recent years for its Eviction Prevention Program, which mediates tenant-landlord disputes. Now, another effort to keep people in their homes has proven successful enough for the city to expand it to more neighborhoods: The Right to Counsel initiative gives free legal help to low-income renters facing eviction, on the premise that having an attorney can mean the difference between losing or keeping one’s home.

“Often when tenants are not represented, they’re less likely to show up to court either through a sense of hopelessness or just not understanding the significance of the proceedings. And when they show up to court, they often just enter into whatever agreement feels most expedient or feels like they are going to be able to keep their home,” an attorney told WHYY.

Right to Counsel’s free lawyers often help tenants work out a payment plan for back rent, or just get a little more time before having to move. During the trial phase, 38 percent of participants had representation in court, compared with a citywide rate of about 20 percent.”

Moms for Liberty, the far-right hate group that has pushed both book bans and their own anti-Black, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric across the country while masquerading as a defender of “parental rights,” chose Philadelphia as the site of their annual “Joyful Warriors” summit this past week... Moms for Liberty had invited Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and other assorted far-right hate-mongers to speak, ushering them into a majority-Black, heavily Democratic city that has repeatedly rejected their toxic rhetoric at the ballot box and in the streets. For some reason, though, the conference organizers appeared to assume that they would be able to live it up in Philly unchallenged, protected by police escorts and their own privilege. Maybe some of the moms had planned to do a little shopping at the Fashion District, or trundled down to gawp at the Liberty Bell from behind a barricade of its own. They thought they’d be welcomed into the City of Brotherly Love.

They were wrong.

It snowed?

It snowed in my area…maybe it already did in yours.And while you may have wished for it, you also deal with delays, bad traffic, wet shoes, cancellations, the cold and more.I hope these few words make it a better day for you.The way a crowShook down on meThe dust of snowFrom a Hemlock TreeHas given my heartA change of moodAnd saved some partOf a day I had rued.Thank Robert Frost for the attitude…

The Liberty Bell picture was taken outside the building where it is housed because it was shut down due to covid at the time we were there. #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #philadephia #philadelphiapa #philadelphiapennsylvania #libertybell #independencehall #philly #phillypa (at Independence National Historical Park and Liberty Bell, Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChAEkMMgdNP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The event, hosted by the Philadelphia Gay News and sponsored by Visit Philadelphia, saw Philadelphia drag performers reading children’s stories to 263 people, which organizers said was a first-ever Guinness World Record for such an event.
