We are all about plain language! Kudos to @TheLab_DC for this important work!

A federal government shutdown will not shut down the DC Government. DC will remain open, our students will be in class, parks will be clean, streets will be safe, trash will be picked up, and we will continue to function as a world-class city no matter what happens in Congress.

We're building a strong rapid response to counter the abuse of power by the Trump Administration. We're hiring a Civil Rights Attorney to ensure that homeless people can live their lives w/out being harassed by police or having their belongings destroyed. legalclinic.org/jobs-and-inter…

Street outreach orgs supporting unhoused residents on the ground: 🚨 Miriam’s Kitchen: 202-452-8926 🚨 Pathways to Housing: 202-529-2972 🚨 Community Connections: 202-546-1512 Share w/ a neighbor, check in on our most vulnerable, & make sure our community stays informed.


we hope that @CMWendellFelder votes NO on this amendment. more than 5,000 Ward 7 residents get help from this program that will potentially lose 1/3 of its funding.


we hope that @CMRobertWhiteDC will vote NO on this amendment. 50% of these funds support housing-related legal help that keeps people out of the District's homelessness system and safely housed.


Tell @councilofdc not to make $10M of ATJ funds conditional. This will devastate our legal services network in DC. Vote no on @CMBrookePinto and @CMZParker5 's amendment. The ATJ Initiative is a LIFELINE to vulnerable DC residents.


Great news about one of our Commissioners, Prof. Jessica Steinberg.

We’re excited to share big news from the GW Law Clinics! Dean Carmia Caesar has stepped into the role of Clinic Director. Additionally, Professor Jessica Steinberg will serve as Faculty Director of the Clinics. Learn more here: law.gwu.edu/gw-law-announc…
