On National Tenants Day Of Action on September 22, 2016 over 200 housing and community activists rallied at the home of Iris Canada in San Francisco. She is 99 years old and speculators are trying to drive her out of her home through an eviction. For many elderly this has meant a death penalty.

Supporters of Iris talked about her case and how evictors of elderly and disabled is at epidemic proportions. They also said that SF city officials have been virtually silent and none have called for an eviction moratorium due to the emergency conditions.
