SNAP news: Bowser says she'll use about $30 mil in contingency funds to ensure SNAP/WIC recipients get paid in November. She did something similar in the last long shutdown. Just yesterday she said she was waiting on the AG's lawsuit!

These buildings are most concentrated in Wards 5, 6, and 7, especially in Kingman Park and neighborhoods near the RFK redevelopment.

Once this project moves forward, these communities will feel the impact deeply, yet they haven’t been given a real chance to weigh in.

Folks across the US: Wake up & realize DC is the proving ground for this admin’s authoritarianism. ICE kidnappings, NG invasions, unlawful demolitionsβ€”they test the waters here, then spread their tentacles. Stop feigning surprise when it comes for you & start fighting back in solidarity NOW. #FreeDC
