✅ | President of Georgetown University John J. DeGioia has called for a #CeasefireNOW .

Thank you to Rev. Motley for asking Mayor Muriel Bowser this question on regarding a ceasefire in Gaza.

We appreciate the Mayor for saying she supports a ceasefire and wants lasting peace in the region.

We now call on the Mayor to urge DC Council to pass a resolution for a ceasefire.

🧵Mayor Muriel Bowser released her FY25 budget, which disappointingly cuts Give SNAP a Raise. This means less food for #WashingtonDC families struggling to make ends meet. Failing to include Give SNAP a Raise in the budget is just one of several ways it lets down children & youth.

It’s getting real! INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS has my book on their upcoming publications!! #oah2024

126 years since the birth of Paul Robeson, an incredible activist, singer, actor and linguist; a powerful voice for the oppressed everywhere; a friend of the Soviet Union, of People's China, of the liberation struggles and anti-fascist movement. A giant of 20th century history.
