Pepco wants to raise our electricity bill by almost 20% over the next three years, and DC residents have a chance to voice our opposition. We urge everybody to write in opposition to higher electricity bills here: https://t.co/Gu3maeWbpd.

In D.C., racist land-use practices have choked our Black, Brown, and working-class neighbors with pollution. The EJ Act boosts efforts to rectify these injustices while empowering the Department of Energy and Environment to support victims of utility greed and energy racism!

Talking to our neighbors in Petworth on this beautiful evening with some @WePowerDC friends for @CMLewisGeorgeW4’s CARE Day! #Ward4Cares

Find someone who loves you as much as @britishmuseum loves to steal

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

[We Power DC @WePowerDC]

Honey, wake up! New example of Pepco acting extremely shady just dropped. They ignored an important law related to solar energy in DC, wasting more than $800,000 and passing that cost onto all of us.

[Claire M 🌞 @edgyvegggie]

DC gov is considering allowing a private company to increase our monthly gas bills so that they can build even more fossil fuel infrastructure. And yet DC claims it'll reduce GHGs by 60% by 2030? Tell them it doesn't add up here: https://t.co/y1pcwRjkss

Send a letter to the Public Service Commission using @CCAN 's template here: https://t.co/WAHQB2M1Lj

[We Power DC @WePowerDC]

We urgently need your help to stop DC’s Public Service Commission from approving an extremely expensive Washington Gas project that would drain DC of hundreds of millions of dollars and commit us to fossil fuels for decades.

[Police Out of Transportation Coalition @DC_POTC]

Traffic stops are the most common way Americans interact with police - these stops don't make streets safer but they do often escalate to violence. Something's got to change.

Join us 4/2 in Starburst Plaza to talk about how we get to safe streets for all in DC.

[DC Justice Lab @DCJusticeLab]

The Revised Criminal Code, including and especially the aspects that are being called “controversial”, is supported by D.C. prosecutors, defenders, legal scholars, victim advocates, all of our elected lawmakers, and 83% of District voters.

Never change, Boston

[WABA @WABADC]

i’ve been taking some notes

[Ayisha Siddiqa @Ayishas12]

I still don’t think people understand what it means for 33 million people to be displaced. That’s 6 times more people than those internally displaced in Ukraine from war, that’s roughly 90% of the population of Canada.
That’s how many people are internally homeless right now

@BrendanJKearney A brief victory for the war on cars ✊🏽

Hoping for a few more tonight!

Read our Mobility Fundamentals for a Climate Action Plan and ask your elected officials what they’re doing to cut transportation sector emissions, expand mobility options, and achieve climate justice. https://t.co/txu8PCRhbm

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Immigrant leaders cry and embrace after winning Licenses for All in Massachusetts after 20 years of community organizing. Finally we will be able to drive without fear!
