Hey Vaughn Hillyard, is there any reason that you’ve never bothered to mention, in any of your reports from the #PVSS2023 , that the “Family Research Council” Family Research Council is so dangerously extreme that it’s been designated an anti- #LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for over a decade?

DC faces an affordable housing crisis & the climate crisis, & both disproportionately affect working-class folks. Let’s learn about the Green New Deal for Housing, which addresses both. Join us on the 28th! Food provided; Spanish interpretation available.

The DC Councill will vote next Tuesday on where to cap rent increases for rent-stabilized tenants. We are calling on tenants and advocates to push Council to vote in favor of a cap at 5%!
