For context, Elizabeth’s July fundraiser, that I participated, in raised $106,396 for 21 Palestinian families – see receipts and a video from Dr. Abujarad documenting use of the July 2024 funds to provide clean water to his refugee camp.

Did you know? In North Gaza, one carton of eggs costs $73. One kilogram (2.2 lb ) of tomatoes costs $180. More about the fundraiser, how it is organized, and what happens to the funds 👉🏽

Biden’s new asylum ban is cruel, racist, and unconstitutional. It makes you wonder if Stephen Miller wrote it for him. We strongly and unequivocally condemn it. Asylum is a human right.

This tracks with Bowser’s general disdain for anything that supports migrants. Lest we forget 👉🏽
Schwalb and Mendelson sent a letter to House leadership opposing bill being voted on today to repeal the DC law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. No signature from Bowser.

"It's an election in one city that doesn't even have representation. What are they worried about? That people are going to pour across the border to vote for Muriel Bowser?" Bahl questioned, noting that she doubts they would even know or support Bowser anyway.
The U.S. House voted Thursday on a bipartisan basis to block D.C. from allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections in the nation’s capital — yet another instance of Congress’s most aggressive intervention in D.C. affairs in decades. wapo.st/4bPzBgJ

I have a story about how the Mayor of the District of Columbia, the Nation’s Capitol, is banking, quite literally, on depriving families of their rights under the U.S. Constitution. This story has some wonky bits, but also hubris and bold disregard for well-established law!

DC friends — this immigrant family in our city is still in great need of support. If you can help the mom and her two children prevent eviction and meet their health needs, please pitch in. We need policies that support families instead of tearing them apart.
Please donate to help Raquel and her two children avoid eviction! gofundme.com/f/pddr2-help-ke…

Let's be really clear. @MayorBowser decided that she couldn't stand up to a few Republicans in Congress so she happily let MPD do this to DC students the night before she testifies before the House Oversight Committee
Replying to @GtownVoice
5:22 a.m.: MPD officers pepper sprayed protesters, as demonstrators tried to move towards the encampment to support those being arrested, multiple protesters told the Voice. Protesters were heard screaming “we need a medic” as several demonstrators were seen vomiting afterwards.

Us: Make driver’s licenses accessible to recently arrived migrants. @BrianneKNadeau & @charlesallen: Did you say more moped restrictions? We got you!
1 May 2024
An exponential increase in the number of mopeds on D.C. streets has left many residents concerned about a lack of accountability for dangerous drivers. A bill introduced in the D.C. Council on Monday could change that. wapo.st/3QmA3uI

This May Day, let management know you won’t stand for retaliation! With new Zoom pics for the occasion, our unit reminded the organization of the Unfair Labor Practices complaint we filed when they took away our 4-day work week. Love and solidarity to all workers – keep going!
