Proud DCPS parent here, seconding this.
Charles Allen@charlesallen30 Mar 2023
Of all the insults they hurled at DC today, this one angers us the most. It’s not just a lie - he doesn’t even hide his contempt & disrespect. To all our educators, we support you. To all our parents, we see you. And to all our DC students making us proud every day, we love you.

So fun to host @alizaidi46 for a great update on climate progress, and a chance for students to see an alum in action!

GCC was honored to host White House National Climate Advisor @alizaidi46 this morning at @GeorgetownLaw. Mr. Zaidi shared an impressive progress report on the Biden-Harris Admin's climate agenda & ways federal, state & local leaders can work together. Thanks to all who attended!

Today (11/15/22) marks 1 year since @POTUS signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law #BIL. Implementation of the 5-year package remains an important factor in future GHG emissions scenarios related to transportation. GCC's analysis: bit.ly/iijagcc 🧵

@SecGranholm : “Almost every federal agency has something to offer in clean energy… It really allows for cabinet members to come together and be more strategic on the ground.”

Tomorrow, I'll join other global leaders at the COP27 in Egypt. We're living in a decisive decade – one in which we have an opportunity to prove ourselves and advance the global climate fight. Let this be a moment where we answer history’s call. Together.
