"DoorDash, hold my beer" A brand new, misleading coalition petitions Congress to interfere in our housing dchousingrecovery.org/campaign-upd... From the same guy lobbying to undermine DC housing protections (SMOA) @chairmanmendelson.com @robertwhitedc.bsky.social @cmfrumin.bsky.social

Are we really surprised that the root of DC disenfranchisement can be traced back to racism against Black residents? 😒 ICYMI, check out this insightful op-ed in @therootdotcom.bsky.social calling on folks to become @togetherfordc.bsky.social Champions: www.theroot.com/as-america-t...

Corporations and billionaires are choosing profits over democracy. This push from Doordash is just the latest overstep. Join us in the fight to protect our city from outside influences who are attempting to shape our local tax code: actionnetwork.org/petitions/dc...

DC City Council debates over next year's budget have been missing a key proposal: a wealth proceeds tax. Local groups say even a 3% surcharge could net millions to protect social services programs and address the city's racial wealth gap. @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social inequality.org/article/a-dc...

A DC Wealth Tax Could Provide Relief for Black Residents

Advocates say a surcharge on passive income could help fund critical programs in the District.

🚨TIME SENSITIVE ACTION🚨 Without exploring progressive revenue raisers, we cannot preserve DC’s safety net. That’s not theoretical — it’s families going hungry, losing healthcare, and being pushed into homelessness or fully out of DC. Tell council to pass a 3% Wealth Proceeds Tax! bit.ly/callfor3

We need to push Council beyond their comfort level because these are not comfortable times. Help us pack the room for the first vote to remind them that the people are watching and waiting for them to invest in a budget for care and sustainability! Register here: bit.ly/PackTheVote27 #WeGotUsDC

Pack the Committee of the Whole (COW) with FBC on May 13!

Chairman Mendelson's Budget Recommendations have been circulated on the Council Hearing Management System. The documents are available here: lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/hea... Tune in to the Media Press Conference on the Budget at Noon on chairmanmendelson.com or on the Council website.

Before the first budget vote tomorrow, tell your DC Councilmembers that it is time for a wealth proceeds tax. We need to act now to raise revenue, protect essential services, and make DC’s tax system fairer for everyone. ✉️: actionnetwork.org/letters/dc-c...

A DC Wealth Tax Would Address Extreme Inequality

The budget in front of the DC Council would invest scarce resources into disproven “trickle-down” tactics at the expense of health care and supports for workers and families.

Our disenfranchisement is not an accident. @dcvote.bsky.social @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social @dcfpi.bsky.social

ICYMI: Yesterday, FBC occupied the office of @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social to demand that she re-allocate $89M of proposed funding for MPD to DC's safety net and other critical programs. Will CM Pinto choose to invest in DC? #WeGotUsDC

From today’s Care Economy Advocacy Day and Rally: A strong DC starts with investing in the people who care for our families and keep our city running. DC must invest in an economy rooted in care! @dcjwj.bsky.social @dcfpi.bsky.social @wearedcaction.bsky.social

Thanks to those who stopped by our safety net briefing breakfast at Wilson today, including @cmfrumin.bsky.social @brianneknadeau.bsky.social and (not pictured) @robertwhitedc.bsky.social and CM’s Wendell Felder and Trayon Whitez We must find ways to restore DC’s safety net! #WeGotUsDC

DC 👏 Statehood 👏 Now! Washington, DC is the only democratic national capital in the world whose residents do not have equal voting and representation rights. We’re uniting to change that.

Are you upset about the budget and aren’t sure what to do? Join us for our next in-person gathering of our Power in Action Community Committee (PiACC) where we build sustainable people power, deepen our relationships and expand our political vision. #WeGotUsDC

DC's #AccessToJustice Initiative faces an 86% cut in the proposed FY27 budget. Last year, these funds helped us reach 1000's of children and families, including Danny. With our support, Danny has an IEP that meets his needs, and his mom credits our work in building confidence for her own advocacy.

Yesterday we had a rare triple-threat panel at the CFSA budget oversight hearing📝🎤. Children's Law Center represents about half of the children currently in foster care — so we know how important it is that the key programs serving these youth are adequately funded. @cmzparker5.bsky.social

FBC is here to pack to COW! (Committee of the Whole) Todays the last day to go on the record before markups begin—our Coalition is coming in with a strong reminder: Tax the wealthy to restore the safety net! #WeGotUs

Utility bills are out of control & the proposed budget makes it worse by slashing $17M from the fund that helps residents lower bills w/ energy efficiency upgrades, renewables & more. Today, CM Allen joined community groups to protest the cuts & build support to approach this budget differently.

There’s a lot to unpack in the Mayor’s budget proposal but the overall and disturbing theme that comes across clearly is that she has gutted the social safety net while not asking anything of the District’s wealthy residents. More in this week’s Ward 1 Update. brianneknadeau.com/ward-1-updat...
