None of this would be possible without the families who have led this fight well before the lawsuit’s filing. Hear Ms. Daggett explain the challenges her son continues to face, and why she is fighting to improve buses for all DC students. #ShareYourBusStory childrenslawcenter.org/our-impact/e...

We also want to highlight these important safety tips from @freedcproject.bsky.social:

Thank you! @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @robertwhitedc.bsky.social @cmchenderson.bsky.social @brianneknadeau.bsky.social @cmfrumin.bsky.social @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social @cmzparker5.bsky.social @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social [end 🧵]

The road ahead will undoubtedly be hard. We are deeply concerned about the lack of available housing supports & the effective elimination of our city's only mental health crisis team for kids. We'll continue working with @councilofdc.bsky.social to minimize the impact of these cuts on DC children.

Some highlights:
✅Restoring (once again!) the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children
✅Increased grants for School-Based Behavioral Health clinicians
✅Preventing a harmful return to congregate family shelters
✅Restoring funds that provide 40K DC residents with legal services (saving $$$ in future!)
