From today’s Care Economy Advocacy Day and Rally: A strong DC starts with investing in the people who care for our families and keep our city running. DC must invest in an economy rooted in care! @dcjwj.bsky.social @dcfpi.bsky.social @wearedcaction.bsky.social

A big lobby day at the Wilson Building today by @wearedcaction.bsky.social arguing for the reversal of planned cuts to childcare/healthcare programs. @brianneknadeau.bsky.social is speaking in support of new 2% surcharge on passive income to do so.

The proposed budget is unfairly balanced on the backs of working families, while no sacrifice is being asked of wealthy residents who can give more. My proposal is simple: restore childcare, paid family leave, and healthcare with a modest surcharge on passive wealth.

DC’s care economy is under threat — and we’re showing up to protect it! Join us and @wearedcaction.bsky.social on Wed, May 20 @ 9:30am at the Wilson Building to speak up for child care, paid leave & healthcare! RSVP: bit.ly/20may26

HUD’s proposed “Work Requirements & Term Limits” rule would create red tape evictions—pushing eligible families off assistance during a housing crisis. Join us & @aforhj.org in telling HUD to withdraw it: actionnetwork.org/letters/red-tape-evictions?source=bsky

Union members at ACLU-DC have been fighting for close to 3 years for our first contract. This is unacceptable. We’re united in our demands for work-life balance, fair pay, and worker protections. Hear from our members firsthand on why we need a fair contract now. Union rights are civil rights.

Remember your tenant rights during this cold weather

We commend the Office of the Attorney General filed a first-of-its-kind RICO lawsuit against slumlord Sam Razjooyan. This sends a strong message to all DC: slumlords are not welcome here!

D.C. residents gave emotional testimony on their spiking utility bills. “When my roommate charged me for the electric bill, I actually had to double check with him that it was the right number and he hadn’t messed up the math, because it literally doubled.”

Stay warm and remember your tenant rights this winter!

thank you @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social !

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it. Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

🚨 Take action now: Ask target Senators to vote no on the disapproval resolution! 🚨 Congress wants to undo local legislation and cost DC $700 million in local revenue, and overturn our efforts to cut child poverty.

The Washington Post is under attack. Support our siblings in labor this week by emailing the Post's leadership to demand no more staff reductions. cc @postguild.bsky.social
