Today we grieve. Our radical founder @NeilJamesonUK has gone to the “world as it should be”. @NeilJamesonUK was kind, radical, brave, funny, encouraging and brilliant. @CitizensUK is his legacy. May he rest in power!

"Imagination..you have to imagine something new."
Rev. David Brawley of @SPCBCBKNY, East Brooklyn Churches & @MetroIAF shares how one Nehemiah project grew into a $1.5 Billion equity-building strategy for thousands of low-income African-Americans and Latinos with Ted Koppel.
A program organized more than 40 years ago by East Brooklyn churches helped build a community within a destitute neighborhood, and has since enabled hundreds of first-time homeowners to build equity - and hope for the future cbsn.ws/3RCpnqb

The CT Insurance Dept. has the authority to call witnesses to a hearing, & should summon specific high-cost providers to justify their prices.
If the providers can't explain their high prices, the premium rate requests should be denied or reduced.

Our members walk through the continuing grief around gun violence in our District. We pray w/ those directly affected & those doing the work on the ground. They lead the way toward solutions. May they be supported, strengthened & amplified by solidarity from people all over DC.
Thank you to the Feingold/Black family for their support of The TraRon Center in the midst of their own grief.
The family established The Jeremy Black Memorial Fund at The TraRon Center. The article provides background. washingtonpost.com/local/jer…
