If #DCHACares, then @DC_Housing should make #GarfieldTerrace a safe place to live. #PublicHousingMatters #BlackSeniorsMatter

[Love + Solidarity @LSCdc]

Invest in safe housing for Ward 1’s seniors, @BrianneKNadeau! #GarfieldTerrace is still waiting. #PublicHousingMatters #BlackSeniorsMatter

[Love + Solidarity @LSCdc]

Today, we are demanding that @councilofdc gives the #GarfieldTerrace community the $36,000 they were promised. We must hold @DC_Housing accountable — if #DCHACares, they’ll support our community.

[Love + Solidarity @LSCdc]

.@DC_Housing: Senior residents at #GarfieldTerrace are still waiting for promised repairs and investment to make their homes safe. The city needs to act NOW. #BlackSeniorsMatter

NYC population data has people 20-40 as ~30% of the population of NYC. BLS data suggests exactly this slice of the population is disproportionately employed in food service & accommodations. The city has reopened restaurants.

Who needs to do better, exactly?

#BlackLivesMatter protests have resonated around the world. In #Palestine, George Floyd’s murder has struck a special chord.

As @PhyllisBennis and @kpYES explain, in the US and #Israel, "police violence is rooted in long legacies of #racism." @NYDailyNews https://t.co/1DmF7V1Xbd

It's been a joy having Sunflower Gardenz in our kitchen, and we're excited to help them move into a food truck to expand!

[justin jacoby smith @hoosteen]

Two of my housemates lost their restaurant jobs as lockdowns accelerated. They took the time at home to launch Sunflower Gardenz, a plant-based bakery that makes basically the best vegan baked goods I've ever had.

Now they're thinking about a food truck. https://t.co/VDtdE3ViwY

.@NoNewJailsDC is demanding ALL people being held at the DC jail are immediately released to prevent further community spread. Call and tweet @CMCharlesAllen and Chief judge Robert E. Morin to demand decarceration. Sample call-in script & tweets here: https://t.co/wX2tDwt7mT

[Love + Solidarity @LSCdc]

Four people have tested positive for COVID-19 at the DC jail and an urgent intervention is needed. Councilmember Charles Allen, is drafting emergency legislation to release people who are within 6 months of completing their sentence. This legislation does not go far enough.
