🎉This is a historic win for DC residents, and we could not be more proud to stand with @TzedekDC. The DC Council unanimously passed the Medical Debt Mitigation Amendment Act — banning medical debt from credit reports, capping interest rates, and requiring hospitals to screen patients for financial assistance before pursuing collections. It now heads to the Mayor for signature. 90,000 District residents carry medical debt. This is the change they deserve. https://t.co/1Y2NbcDx1F #MedicalDebt #ConsumerProtection

[Tzedek DC @TzedekDC]

.@councilofdc just passed a major step in protecting more than 90,000 DC residents with medical debt. This bill will help prevent long-term financial harm and ensure getting sick does not mean going into debt. Grateful to @CMCHenderson for her leadership. https://t.co/JldBOS9IEt

[Tzedek DC @TzedekDC]

Tzedek DC Disabilities Community Project Staff Attorney @mditkowsky urged the @councilofdc to strengthen the Language Access Act by explicitly including sign languages like ASL. This would expand DC agency requirements to support Deaf, hard of hearing, and DeafBlind residents.

people are facing severe neglect and abuse in nursing homes, but how about some alcohol? 🙃

this is so out of touch i'm speechless

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms.

I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol - so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!
