In response to the current assault on DC residents and our local democracy, we are taking the unusual step of canceling this Saturday's Suitland Parkway Volunteer Day.
We encourage all of our supporters to instead join us the We Are DC protest, beginning at 11 am at Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park.

Ward 8 Woods was proud to sign on to a letter to @mayorbowser.bsky.social this morning condemning the positive sentiments towards the federal intrusion into DC that she expressed at last week's press conference and demanding leaders take a different path- with the people & against Trump.
