For context, Elizabeth’s July fundraiser, that I participated, in raised $106,396 for 21 Palestinian families – see receipts and a video from Dr. Abujarad documenting use of the July 2024 funds to provide clean water to his refugee camp.

Did you know? In North Gaza, one carton of eggs costs $73. One kilogram (2.2 lb ) of tomatoes costs $180.

More about the fundraiser, how it is organized, and what happens to the funds 👉🏽

Biden’s new asylum ban is cruel, racist, and unconstitutional. It makes you wonder if Stephen Miller wrote it for him. We strongly and unequivocally condemn it.

Asylum is a human right.

This tracks with Bowser’s general disdain for anything that supports migrants. Lest we forget 👉🏽

[Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid @dcmigrantaid]

"It's an election in one city that doesn't even have representation. What are they worried about? That people are going to pour across the border to vote for Muriel Bowser?" Bahl questioned, noting that she doubts they would even know or support Bowser anyway.

[Amber Harding @amberwharding]

I have a story about how the Mayor of the District of Columbia, the Nation’s Capitol, is banking, quite literally, on depriving families of their rights under the U.S. Constitution. This story has some wonky bits, but also hubris and bold disregard for well-established law!

[Alex Taliadoros @AlexCTaliadoros]

DC friends — this immigrant family in our city is still in great need of support.

If you can help the mom and her two children prevent eviction and meet their health needs, please pitch in.

We need policies that support families instead of tearing them apart.

[Stop Police Terror Project DC @StopCopTerrorDC]

Let's be really clear. @MayorBowser decided that she couldn't stand up to a few Republicans in Congress so she happily let MPD do this to DC students the night before she testifies before the House Oversight Committee

This May Day, let management know you won’t stand for retaliation! With new Zoom pics for the occasion, our unit reminded the organization of the Unfair Labor Practices complaint we filed when they took away our 4-day work week.

Love and solidarity to all workers – keep going!
