For context, Elizabeth’s July fundraiser, that I participated, in raised $106,396 for 21 Palestinian families – see receipts and a video from Dr. Abujarad documenting use of the July 2024 funds to provide clean water to his refugee camp.
Screenshots of receipts from July 2024 Fundraiser. In July 2024, ~100 of us raised $106,396 for 21 Palestinian families. Let's raise even more this time! We will post proof for this fundraiser too. 5/6

Did you know? In North Gaza, one carton of eggs costs $73. One kilogram (2.2 lb ) of tomatoes costs $180. More about the fundraiser, how it is organized, and what happens to the funds 👉🏽
How was this fundraiser organized? In July 2024, our lead organizer recruited ~100 of us to raise $106,000+ for 21 Palestinian families. She has now recruited 200+ of us to fundraise for 100+ families and 2 mutual aid projects. How do you know the 100+ families? They reached out to folks in our group for support. What will the funds be used for? The families urgently need money to pay for the exorbitant prices of basic necessities, including but not limited to food, water, winter-proof tents, winter clothing, medicine, surgery, diapers, infant formula, toiletries, rent, internet, cooking gas, transportation, etc. Why are you using Venmo to collect donations? Venmo does not charge us a fee to collect or withdraw funds. The families will already have to pay 2 fees: (i) when we distribute the funds to their GFMs and ii) when they withdraw the money in cash. Can we see where the money goes? Yes, we will post proof of payment to each family's GFM and the 2 mutual aid projects. 4/6

Biden’s new asylum ban is cruel, racist, and unconstitutional. It makes you wonder if Stephen Miller wrote it for him. We strongly and unequivocally condemn it. Asylum is a human right.

Schwalb and Mendelson sent a letter to House leadership opposing bill being voted on today to repeal the DC law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. No signature from Bowser.

"It's an election in one city that doesn't even have representation. What are they worried about? That people are going to pour across the border to vote for Muriel Bowser?" Bahl questioned, noting that she doubts they would even know or support Bowser anyway.

@washingtonpost23 May 2024
The U.S. House voted Thursday on a bipartisan basis to block D.C. from allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections in the nation’s capital — yet another instance of Congress’s most aggressive intervention in D.C. affairs in decades. wapo.st/4bPzBgJ

I have a story about how the Mayor of the District of Columbia, the Nation’s Capitol, is banking, quite literally, on depriving families of their rights under the U.S. Constitution. This story has some wonky bits, but also hubris and bold disregard for well-established law!

Let's be really clear. @MayorBowser decided that she couldn't stand up to a few Republicans in Congress so she happily let MPD do this to DC students the night before she testifies before the House Oversight Committee
The Georgetown Voice@GtownVoice8 May 2024
Replying to @GtownVoice
5:22 a.m.: MPD officers pepper sprayed protesters, as demonstrators tried to move towards the encampment to support those being arrested, multiple protesters told the Voice. Protesters were heard screaming “we need a medic” as several demonstrators were seen vomiting afterwards.

Us: Make driver’s licenses accessible to recently arrived migrants. @BrianneKNadeau & @charlesallen: Did you say more moped restrictions? We got you!
Post Local
@postlocal1 May 2024
An exponential increase in the number of mopeds on D.C. streets has left many residents concerned about a lack of accountability for dangerous drivers. A bill introduced in the D.C. Council on Monday could change that. wapo.st/3QmA3uI

Rising moped use worries some residents. A new bill aims to make a fix.

D.C. Council legislation would require moped sellers to complete registration paperwork, assuaging residents who say there’s no accountability for dangerous drivers.
