Thank you to Councilmembers @BrianneKNadeau @Janeese4DC and @charlesallen for leading the way and working to make DC live up to values painted on 16th Street: #BlackLivesMatter
Today at noon @councilofdc will vote to modestly increase the tax for DC's millionaires to end homelessness for 2,400 DC households. The decision is clear. Housing is a Human Right. Let's end homelessness and poverty in the District together #JustRecoveryDC
When one community experiences oppression it is an attack against freedom to all. #StopAAPIHate

Our community members should not be footing this $43M bill - indeed, the community needs MORE support during this time. When the city's health and employment services are robbed of funding, people suffer.
People doing their job should get paid overtime, but community members should not be the ones footing this bill. Similarly, these payments should not come at the expense of organizations like ours, who serve those who are medically and employment insecure.

Great to catch up with @allyschweitzer for this article. @BreadfortheCity has seen upwards of a 400% increase in need - going from feeding 5,000 households a month to 5,000 a week in the span of this pandemic. The need will only increase without bold leadership. #JustReliefDC

We can't begin to measure our collective grief at the passing of John Lewis. We can only walk by his example and organize against the injustices we see in this world. #RIPJohnLewis
ICYMI last month I published my thoughts on the health disparities enabling #COVID19 to hit Black communities. We need significant investment in Black communities in DC to address these disproportionate health determinants. #BlackLivesMatterDC
