I have been at the Wilson Building for 13 hours to be in solidarity with early educators fighting to defend their pay from being stolen by Mayor Muriel Bowser. Join their campaign for living wages that they have MORE than earned.

The biggest rally I have ever seen at the Wilson Building opposing the ridiculous funding cuts proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser

Spending most of this rally figuring out how they got this many people out. It's SO many people!

I'm testifying from 2 perspectives: decades as a national child care advocate, and a DC resident, former Director of DC CFSA ⁣ and committed to equity & success for DC families. My full testimony here: docs.google.com/document/d/1Sa… CLASP National Women's Law Center EJ Dionne Catherine Rampell

Supporting our beloved daycare teachers this morning! 🌸 Under 3 DC #payequityfund

I’ve been telling folks this for years!

My Jewish upbringing inspires my work as an abortion provider. The values of tikkun olam, 'repair of the world' lead me to provide abortion care—and support Palestinian efforts to end the Israeli occupation and this genocide.

Thank you to all of the abortion funds speaking out.

“We’ve come to fight for our right to pay equity.” Hundreds of early childhood educators gathered outside the Wilson Building right now, protesting budget cuts to early childhood education in DC. WUSA9

For Andrea Thomas at UPO, here is how we can fight poverty in the District:

1. Raise Taxes Capital Gains at a higher rate… ideally 13%. 📈💰

2. Raise home Increase Property Tax Rate on Highest Value Homes. 📈🏠

#StopTheCuts , #TaxWealth and #InvestInUs instead. 💸

I'm for pay equity for ECE educators. I'm also for DC leadership that represents the will of the people and does not require people to fight for every single thing.

Your solidarity was EPIC today! I am strapping on my boots to attend the next opportunity I have to be in solidarity with Washington Teachers' Union for a new contract!

Advocacy Manager Adam Barragan-Smith testified in the DC Council's final public hearing on the FY25 budget earlier today about the #PayEquityFund . He urged the Council to restore full funding to the program and shared teachers' stories about how it has helped them. #ProtectPEF

🚨HUGE VICTORY FOR DACA RECIPIENTS🚨

The Biden administration just lifted Affordable Care Act restrictions for #DACA recipients.

This fall, hundreds of thousands of people will be able to access necessary health care, a significant stride for health equity & immigrant justice.

Thank you to the DC Fire Fighters Association, Local 36 DC Fire Fighters Association, Local 36 for endorsing our campaign and efforts to improve the health, safety, and well-being of Ward 7 residents and communities in the District.

#HappeningNow “Stop the cut!” Parents, teachers, and staff are in front of the Wilson Building protesting against Mayor Muriel Bowser’s 2025 proposed budget that cuts $300 million from early childhood education. DC News Now

There are lots of people calling for us to implement a Child Tax Credit in today’s hearing. I've introduced legislation with 9 co-sponsors to create a District Child Tax Credit, and I'm fighting to get it done in the FY25 budget.

It was such a privilege to speak about the importance of the wealthiest District residents paying their fair share in taxes to support life changing programs like the Pay Equity Fund
