3rd time's the charm! Both the Attorney General and the General Counsel of the DC Council agree that "DC Housing Modernization and Accessibility Act of 2026" is a proper subject for a DC ballot initiative. #RentFreeze ⛄️ #AffordableHousing🏚️

Interesting: The proposed @dcaffordability.bsky.social ballot initiative that would freeze rents in D.C. for two years and change income targets for affordable housing programs is facing potentially significant legal hurdles to getting on the ballot for this year (or ever).

No worker deserves to be fired for speaking up. Not Starbucks baristas organizing for a fair contract, immigrant workers fighting wage theft, Amazon warehouse workers demanding safety, or federal workers protecting our civil rights. Stand with the #FairHousingThree! share.jwj.org/s/eOvTZKE8

A two-year freeze on all rents. A ban on selling foie gras. Moving D.C. to abandon Daylight Saving Time. A $25 minimum wage — and getting rid of D.C.’s tipped wage. During next year's elections, D.C. voters may get to weigh in on each. Or ... they may not, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:

D.C. ballot initiatives target rent freeze and minimum wage
For some it’s people-powered democracy. For others, it’s just too much.
