Ryan Clark talks about how Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz APPROACHED him and invested in launching his sports show ‘The Pivot 25’ just 5 weeks after he was FIRED from ESPN 😲🔥 “He believes that I’m a brand. He believes in the things that I stand for, which I hadn’t heard from somebody of his stature that don’t look like me.”

For over 30 years, David Meadows has fought locally and nationally for Democratic values that uplift DC residents — and he’s not stopping until DC achieves full Statehood. David is running for National Committeeman to make sure DC’s voice is strong, respected, and influential within the DNC. From protecting Home Rule to expanding economic opportunity, he understands the challenges facing our city and believes DC should help lead the national Democratic conversation. David has served our community as: • Executive Director, DC Democratic Party • President, Stonewall LGBTQ+ Democrats • President, Ward 6 Democrats • Ward 8 Democratic Committeeman • Ward 6 Democratic Committeeman • Founder, DC Latino Caucus • Founder, Pride at Work AFL-CIO • 12-year DC Council Chief of Staff & Senior Advisor David Meadows is ready to fight for working families, strengthen organizing, elevate diverse voices, and continue the fight for full representation and DC Statehood. @DCMeadows @CharlesWilsonDC

Our chair @CharlesWilsonDC speaking at the DNC about the unprecedented hostile takeover of DC by President Trump. An attack@on D.C’s right to self-govern is an attack on democracy everywhere.

What we’re seeing in DC is an authoritarian power grab and an assault on freedom in our nation’s capital. Trump’s dictator dress-up won’t stop here. Colorado could be next.

@CMWendellFelder questioned whether his colleagues would have this much concern for the tenets of the deal if RFK campus was based elsewhere in the city. He said he wants to show that the council is committed to "inclusive growth and equitable investment."

It is clear, however, how sorely #Ward8’s voice was missing from these discussions. There are no specific community benefits investments earmarked in neighborhoods home to the largest share of DC’s youth and working poor. I urge the Council to correct this before 2nd reading.

We are calling on the @councilofdc to reject @CMBrookePinto’s proposed amendment to fund semi-open primaries in D.C! Allowing non-Democrats to interfere in Democratic elections undermines the Party’s right to choose our own leaders and our own core values.
