This morning's cleanup was adjusted to only focus on trash because the hypothermia alert was activated. But a full cleanup is planned for Dec. 17.

In the past half hour, we’ve gained almost 100 followers and quite a few donations.
First of all, thank you all so much for your generosity!
We’d also like to take this moment, especially following tonight’s events, to talk about the role of street medics at protests.
A whistleblower at ICE today exposed that mass hysterectomies are being performed on detained immigrants. If it sounds like a horror show, that's because it is. Gender oppression has a direct correlation with authoritarianism. This is beyond. The vicious cruelty is staggering.
After Democratic darling @MayorBowser accused Trump admin of being too soft on protesters (by not charging them w invented crimes), city & feds compromised by having marshalls re-arrest activists, ransack their homes & seize even their *ROOMMATES* phones.

we shouldn’t normalize police brutality and murder of black brown and indigenous people. what you call politics is a matter of survival and existence for many. wouldn’t you defend yours?
BREAKING: DC Cops are going CRAZY at BLM plaza. They arrested someone and then started unleashed tear gas on the crowd, then unloaded pepper spray DIRECTLY at me for recording
Children facing loaded barrels and then arrested for being black in America 💔 We should ALL be working to end this! #DefundThePolice#disarmpolice @occupydc202
This is UN-FUCKING-ACCEPTABLE. Not only has the Council refused to make cuts to the MPD budget, @ChmnMendelson, with support of six of his colleagues are trying to cut 18 MILLION in essential services with no public input or accountability.
It would be nice for a mayor to say:
“We will end qualified immunity.
We will demilitarize our police.
We will remove cops from schools.
We will slash police budget 50% & reallocate resources back into community”
“Oh yes, and we will also paint BlackLivesMatter in the street”
