Thank you to Councilmembers @BrianneKNadeau @Janeese4DC and @charlesallen for leading the way and working to make DC live up to values painted on 16th Street: #BlackLivesMatter

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

With a small tax increase on DC's wealthiest residents we can end homelessness for thousands, put money in the pockets of working families, double wages for underpaid early childhood educators (Black and brown women), and fund child care like the vital infrastructure that it is!

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

Today at noon @councilofdc will vote to modestly increase the tax for DC's millionaires to end homelessness for 2,400 DC households. The decision is clear. Housing is a Human Right. Let's end homelessness and poverty in the District together #JustRecoveryDC

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

When one community experiences oppression it is an attack against freedom to all. #StopAAPIHate

At @BreadfortheCity we've shown that an active, equitable, and anti-racist approach to vaccine distribution works. Read about how we did it in @washingtonpost

“We have to figure out how to get people, and to some degree, even the right people, access to the doses we do have,” George Jones said.

Grateful to have received the Moderna #COVIDVaccine at @BreadfortheCity earlier today. Our Medical Clinic is distributing vaccines to first responders in conjunction with @_DCHealth as part of DC's inoculations. I'm feeling well. Proud BFC is a part of this effort.

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

I'll be there to celebrate our wonderful community today at 6PM. Please join me!

Our community members should not be footing this $43M bill - indeed, the community needs MORE support during this time. When the city's health and employment services are robbed of funding, people suffer.

[Bread for the City is on Bluesky @BreadfortheCity]

People doing their job should get paid overtime, but community members should not be the ones footing this bill. Similarly, these payments should not come at the expense of organizations like ours, who serve those who are medically and employment insecure.

@BreadfortheCity received a favorable decision in our lawsuit against the Trump Administration's most recent attempt to limit SNAP benefits for those in need. We are thankful for our partners in this fight, @LegalAidDC and @AlstonBirdLLP. #HandsOffSNAP

Great to catch up with @allyschweitzer for this article. @BreadfortheCity has seen upwards of a 400% increase in need - going from feeding 5,000 households a month to 5,000 a week in the span of this pandemic. The need will only increase without bold leadership. #JustReliefDC

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

We can't begin to measure our collective grief at the passing of John Lewis. We can only walk by his example and organize against the injustices we see in this world. #RIPJohnLewis

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

ICYMI last month I published my thoughts on the health disparities enabling #COVID19 to hit Black communities. We need significant investment in Black communities in DC to address these disproportionate health determinants. #BlackLivesMatterDC

These acts of murder by the very public servants sworn to protect us, whose salaries our tax dollars pay, have such a dark and painful history, that the criminal justice system seems incapable of ending. 2/2

[George A. Jones @BFC_CEO]

A tragic death and unimaginable pain for the family of #GeorgeFloyd - a horribly traumatic day for Black people in America. 1/2
