This morning, we delivered groceries to seniors in Columbia Heights ahead of Thanksgiving.
Senior hunger was already such a huge issue, and food insecurity in DC has only gotten worse over the past couple months.

This past weekend we hung out at the weekly Children’s Music Hour in Mount Pleasant, held another canvass in Shaw & LeDroit Park, and stopped by Wangari Garden’s Fall Festival! 🎶🚪🍂
We’re fighting for a world where we have basic needs, but also one that’s full of joy.

Como organizadora de inquilinos, he estado al lado de inquilinos cuyos edificios necesitan inversión desesperadamente. Perder $35 millones en fondos federales debido a la negligencia de DC es un escándalo: ese dinero podría haber cambiado vidas.

As a tenant organizer, I’ve stood with tenants whose buildings desperately need investment. Losing $35M in federal funds because of DC’s negligence is outrageous – that money could have changed lives.

Honored to join @afroamcivilwar.org.web.brid.gy this #VeteransDay morning to read the names of Black soldiers who fought for liberation.
We honor all veterans and their legacy as we continue to organize for a country where housing, healthcare, and safety are rights – not privileges.

So many great conversations and so much fun at our childcare & coffee meetup! 🌈🍂🫧
The average cost of childcare in DC is $22,000 / year per child. If we want to keep families in DC, we need free childcare for every family and better pay for childcare workers.

Across the country (and in NYC), working class champions are proving that it’s not just possible, but that it’s necessary to fight for people over profit.
Now let’s bring that fight to DC:

Co-ops are a huge part of how we maintain affordable housing and make it possible for long term residents to stay in the District.

Last night, we had a labor-focused house party! 💕
Working people make DC run, not billionaires, not corporations, and not the Trump administration. As a union member, I will always fight for workers’ right to organize, for protections on the job, and for fair pay & benefits. ✊🏾
