PPADMV has long endorsed DC Ward 6 Councilmember @cmcharlesallen, an ardent champion for sexual + reproductive freedom. We were confident this dubious recall effort would fail + now it has. It was a ridiculous distraction from his critical work of fighting for health equity in DC
Ward 6 is full of thoughtful people looking for real solutions to tough problems. We don’t respond to the fear & division played out by national pols. Real problem solvers roll up their sleeves, lead boldly & lift others up - building, not dividing. Proud to call Ward 6 my home.
The Recall Allen committee says it came up well short of its goal for petition signatures to trigger a special election. They’re asking for it to be on the ballot anyway (good luck with that).
So after tens of thousands in spending, this efforts ends with a whimper.
At the July 31 deadline, we are thrilled to have raised more than $193k in support of @charlesallen from 1,400 contributions. Nine in ten donors are DC residents and the majority are in Ward 6. Thank you neighbors for standing w/ Charles! #declinetosign!

Tonight, the Recall campaign is holding a fundraiser at the home of Michael Bekesha, a senior attorney at Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch is a dangerous right-wing group.
These are not the people you want on your side. #DeclinetoSign
Thanks to @jbhenchman & Reason for getting beyond the vibes & into what really caused DC's crime spike in 2023.
Understanding how the breakdowns in DC's criminal justice system drove crime is key to actually fixing the problems & reducing crime.

In addition, we strongly oppose the recall campaigns currently underway in Ward 1 and Ward 6.
These recalls undermine democracy in DC and we encourage union members in Wards 1 and 6 to carefully read and do not sign any recall petitions. #RejectTheRecalls#DeclineToSign
Good morning! It’s a beautiful day in Ward 6.
Remember to #declinetosign if anyone asks you to sign a recall petition. Don’t be mislead!
