In the early afternoon of Dec. 11, nearly 40 activists, tenants and organizers gathered outside of San Diego Evictions’ law office in Normal Heights. San Diego’s Cancel the Rent Coalition, of which the Party for Socialism and Liberation is a member, led calls to stop all evictions, extend the moratorium, and cancel all rents and mortgages.
After a short march down the hill of the office’s driveway leading into a parking lot in front of the building, participants circled around the lot, socially distancing with banners and signs. The group first heard from Armando, a member of San Diego Tenants’ Union, who faces eviction despite the stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Although Armando has been open about his circumstances, his landlord issued multiple eviction notices over recent months in an effort to get him out.
