"We can't stay that Black Lives Matter and continue to displace Black Families. Rent Control is a racial justice issue. In ten year 20,000 African Americans have been pushed out of the city"

“Washington DC is where I call home, I can't imagine moving out of it. The [current rent control] system we have now is clearly not enough.” David Bonilla Ward 4 resident, 220 Hamilton St Tenant Association #reclaimrentcontrol

Veronica Mosqueda of @TenantOrganizer: You've heard from over 100 DC residents last November and today, who have clearly demonstrated the disparity between rent and wages, which makes an annual 2% raise impossible and unjust for tenants

List now to @WPFWDC! They got an amazing organizer from @BreadfortheCity and a resident leader from Kelly Miller apartments talking about how the redevelopment of public housing is the city sponsored gentrification. Shoutout to @EmpowerDC for another powerful show.

The COVID-19 crisis has left many Washingtonians without income and our economic outlook shows no signs of getting better any time soon. This leaves thousands vulnerable to eviction this fall/winter if current eviction protections are allowed to expire washingtoncitypaper.com/news…

Today #VendedoresUnidos had another great victory as @BrianneKNadeau and 6 other Councilmembers introduced legislation to decriminalize street vending in DC.
DC street vendors have faced police harassment for years while working to feed their families.

We also urge @councilofdc to pass @tweetelissa’s Protecting Businesses and Workers from COVID-19 Emergency Amendment Act. As DC re-opens, we must protect workers’ health. And no worker should have to risk termination of unemployment benefits if they turn down an unsafe job
27 Jul 2020
Updated details a handy summary of our Protecting Businesses and Workers from COVID-19 Emergency Amendment Act, which is up for a Council vote tomorrow!

We have been calling for cash assistance for all excluded workers- defined as ineligible for federal stimulus and UI - SINCE APRIL. We were not always heard in our multi-racial, intersectional demand to leave no one behind.
Our coalition has always been consistent #dontexcudeme

From the first day, our undocumented members have been fighting alongside other excluded workers for cash aid that supports ALL OF US. Our communities will not be divided.
@CMBrookePinto, @marycheh, @CM_McDuffie, @trayonwhite: support the amendment!

NEW: Ahead of the final vote on the FY21 budget, 50 organizations ask @CouncilofDC to ensure that excluded worker aid is open to *all* excluded workers, including street vendors, returning citizens, day laborers and cash economy workers.
