[mrg-announce] NO Eviction Alert - Blockade Tomorrow

[Eli Beckerman]

Hello again,

Contrary to all expectations, people were successful today in
getting a 30-day court-ordered stay of eviction. There will
NOT be a blockade tomorrow morning. However, it's not over
till it's over. Next steps to be determined.
