On Saturday, October 4, hundreds of people marched up Dorchester Ave from Fields Corner to Hancock Street in protest of evictions and rent increases. Marchers who joined the Right to Remain Boston assembly demanded passage of a Just Cause Eviction ordinance that would require landlords to have a reason to evict tenants and would require them to talk with tenants if they want to impose large rent increases. Above, protestors gathered to rally in front of a property slated for the proposed DOT Block development at Pleasant Street and Hancock Street. Photo by James Hobin
