Everyone has a role in addressing gun violence. Parents, faith institutions, schools AND the corporations that profit trillions of dollars from marketing movies, music and violent video games to children, that glorify gun violence.

I know people talk about freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility.
Your decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else.
Please get vaccinated. For yourself. For the people you love. And for your country.

A big shout-out to all the #DCstatehood activists, especially @WTnDC, and our attorneys Mark Goldstone and Kenny Page! What a way to burst onto the local democracy scene back in the 90s! #FreeDCnow
@MsFreeDC and @FreeDCnow were arrested 22 years ago (July 29, 1999) and charged with “Disruption of Congress” after (allegedly) screaming “THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATION IS THE LAST PLANTATION!” and “FREE DC!” in the House Gallery during floor debate on DC appropriations. #DCStatehood

By denying D.C. a vote in Congress, we are denying people in our nation’s capital their full voice in our democracy. Today, House @OversightDems are holding a hearing on #DCStatehood—wasting no time to ensure 700,000+ residents have their voices heard.

They were priorities of @MayorBowser since her first term: family shelters, one in each city ward, to replace the DC General homeless shelter in Southeast.
Wednesday, the 8th and final one of those shelters opened at 14th and Clifton, NW in Ward One. wjla.com/news/local/final-sh…

The Treasury Department is “exploring ways to speed up” the process of adding #HarrietTubman to the front of the $20 bill. We've been waiting for four long years. We're still waiting too for #FullRightsForDC, #DCStatehood.
