Excluded Workers DC
@DontExcludeMeDC
Since 2020, Excluded Workers in DC have fought and won over $75 million in direct cash assistance for workers who were left out of other government benefits.

Last year, the people thwarted Mayor Bowser’s attempted robbery of $20 million in FY23 excluded workers funds. This month, excluded workers in DC started receiving their long awaited money! We are excited to see these funds being disbursed! 🎉
BCI supports workers in the DC-area to build & maintain worker cooperatives, especially ones led by poor & working class Black and Brown workers, as a strategy for building political & economic power in the DC-area that centers poor & working class Black & Brown communities. 3/3
Worker cooperatives are an example of a solidarity economy institution in which the workers own & control the business collectively. More than half of worker coops in the US today were created to improve low-wage jobs & build wealth in communities most affected by inequality. 2/3
This year you’ve heard a lot about our advocacy work. Today, we want to introduce you to our work with worker cooperatives and the role they play in the solidarity economy! Over the next few months we will be spotlighting the coops we work with so stay turned! 1/3
Help Kahssay renew his street vending license so he can support his family! Venmo or cashapp: @yomictin
Please support if you can - Solomon has been a leader with @DontExcludeMeDC since the start of the pandemic. His leadership has helped win more than $60 million for excluded workers & now he needs support replacing tools for work that were stolen Venmo: @enlalucha
Excluded workers stand in the council chambers as the council votes on whether they commit to using any excess revenue that comes in to support an increase in SNAP benefits and the $20M that was brutally swiped from excluded workers. #NoMeExcluyas
We’re at @ChmnMendelson’s house today to tell him to keep his promise to Excluded Workers and restore the funds that @MayorBower stole! Join us by taking one minute to send a letter to the Mendo and ask him to not exclude excluded workers again: bit.ly/keep-your-prom…
I'm disappointed to see @CMZParker5’s proposal fall short. It pains me that we have not made good on our promise to excluded workers – I will work w/colleagues now til May 30 on finding funds.
I withdrew my amendment today to extend the deed and recordation fee to invest in Washingtonians. We have work to do to better support neighbors, but progress isn’t always linear. Bright side: I’m heartened that colleagues are exploring ways to give SNAP a raise. Let’s do it!
The money was allocated by the council last year, but hasn’t been disbursed at all thus far. (Story: dcist.com/story/22/05/25…) I asked @ChmnMendelson about it yesterday, and he was non-committal on whether he could get the money back.

DC Council Gives Excluded Workers More Financial Assistance
Undocumented residents and workers in the informal economy will get $20 million in financial assistance the next time D.C. reports a surplus.
Immigrant workers are outside the Wilson Building this morning asking the D.C. Council to restore the $20 million in financial assistance for excluded workers that @MayorBowser took back in her revised 2023 budget proposal.
