Last month @councilofdc's COW's deadline for written testimony on B26-0265 FY2026 Local Budget Support Act of 2025 was July 2. I submitted written testimony July 2 only to learn that @councilofdc's COW issued its report July 1. Does COW want public input??

Like the Freedom Riders before us, workers of all races & places bussed across the US to Louisiana's detention alley-epicenter for immigrant detention. Meanwhile, workers were out at Home Depots sharing know your rights information with all. Workers will NOT be divided!…

Link to DC Council Office of Budget Dir.'s D.C. Restaurant Industry Overview contradicts @CM_McDuffie, @RobertWhite_DC position on I-82. D.C. Council pauses scheduled $2 wage increase for restaurant workers wapo.st/43ODEaM

ReneeLBowser's tweet card. The council is considering whether to scrap Initiative 82, a law overwhelmingly approved by D.C. voters in 2022 that restaurant owners argue has caused harm to their struggling industry.

I’m proud I was able to participate in the Poor People’s Campaign Moral Monday rally on June 2! Rev., Dr. Barber and others detailed the anti-worker, anti-family, and anti-poor Republican budget before entering the Capitol rotunda to protest. We need more DC people in the mix.

The government's job is to promote the general welfare, not business interests! We must invest directly in communities & citizens. Not more backwards "trickle down economics"

NEW: With DOGE cuts pummeling D.C.'s economy, Mayor Bowser just unveiled a business-friendly budget: It caters to restaurants by calling for a repeal of Initiative 82, slashes construction industry regulations and frees up money from other city projects to redevelop RFK Stadium.

I just voted for Diane A. Seltzer for D.C. Bar president! Her opponent is Bradley Bondi, brother of @PamBondi, trump's authoritarian attorney general. If you are a D.C. lawyer with a D.C. Bar No., vote for Seltzer by June 4!
