@tbednar23 What a Friday treat!

For many of our clients, this crisis has made difficult choices, like deciding whether to pay rent or buy food, even harder. To keep #DC children & families safe, the budget needs to make more substantial investments in stabilizing, permanent housing. @tweetelissa @ChmnMendelson

Proud to have put forth this bold resolution calling attention to the education students w/ disabilities receive during this pandemic. Even prouder to have the support of every present Board Member tonight!

We must be uncompromising in holding the bar high, especially nowadays.

@DcWhalen @mariablaeuer @juliecamerata @katescattergood This is a great checklist @DcWhalen! I could probably stand to eat more vegetables and fewer goldfish crackers!

If you or a neighbor have recently had power disconnected, Pepco is reconnecting households throughout the public health emergency. Call 202-833-7500.

Please alert any neighbors who could use this help.

The dismissals of @MontcoPA’s top two public defenders is shocking and disappointing. Dean and Keisha worked to expose real inequities in the criminal legal system. We want answers from Chair @VAArk, @kenlawrencejr and @JoeGalePA.

I’m proud to share our @FairBudgetDC budget report which prioritizes investments that support children and families. Show some love this Valentine’s Day💕 and check out our report! #LovetheDistrict and #LovethePeople

[Fair Budget Coalition DC @FairBudgetDC]

We challenge @councilofdc + @MayorBowser to use our budget report to show that they not only #LovetheDistrict but they #LovethePeople, who have lived here that have historically been displaced due to racism and housing, food, and economic insecurity.

We see every day the challenges that #DC residents face with @dcra. It's time to break up the agency and create a Department of Buildings focused on tenants. @ChmnMendelson - we look forward to seeing the bill move to a vote in 2020. #healthyhousingdc
