🦎 @Powellelem students have been hard at work preparing testimony on their bill to name the red-backed salamander DC's official state amphibian.

🚨If you think D.C. needs more local journalism, here’s an amazing chance to help create some! A group of former @dcist and @wamu885 staffers are creating @51stnews, a non-profit worker-led news outlet on all things D.C. And they need your financial help: https://t.co/bua3JmAPEd

have stifled reporting by refusing to invest in journalists and stories.
Please support:

Couldn’t have said it any better.
