Charges have reportedly been dropped for all 18 people arrested during a December protest against the eviction of a renter on Glasgow Street.
Those arrested included the tenant, Clianda Florence-Yarde, and State Assemblyman Demond Meeks.
They appeared at a rally yesterday in support of proposed state reforms for housing, health care, and criminal justice.
At the December protest, Florence-Yarde had claimed her landlord didn t address poor living conditions at the apartment.
Her landlord said she hadn t paid rent in more than a year, had dogs in violation of the lease, and reneged on a deal she made in court to move out.

Rochester, N.Y. It’s safe to say that Shayla Black’s life is not what she imagined when she left her job in the magazine industry in January, feeling like she needed a change.
Before long, her quest for new opportunities was upended by massive job losses driven by the COVID-19 crisis. As Black’s finances started to dwindle and the rent continued to accrue at her second-story Harlem apartment, the 28-year-old found herself having to make some difficult choices.
