Check in with your neighbors. How else can we all help folks who are outside in this mess?
It's hot and smoky. If you've got extra N95s, today's a great day to share them with anyone living or working outside. 
Cold drinks and cash can help your unhoused neighbors survive.

Sustaining supporters make a huge difference in Ward 4. Even just $5 a month has a real impact in our community, helping to provide groceries, diapers, cash, and other support for neighbors. Can't afford to give anything right now? Tell a few friends about Ward 4 Mutual Aid, instead. Links in bio.
Neighbors put $10,000/month back into Ward 4. You could make it $10,005.

A small sample of today's mutual aid distro. Groceries and gift cards and diapers and wipes, ~75 home deliveries plus hundreds of neighbors picking up from our Ward 4 distribution site.

The requests we get for utility debt support are sky high. People on fixed incomes cannot afford the hikes in utility bills. Did you know if you have a utility shutoff you can be considered out of compliance with your lease & be evicted?

NEWS: The D.C. Council just passed an emergency bill allowing anyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine without a doctor's prescription, which have been requested recently due to changes in federal vaccine recommendations. (And some D.C. residents have had to go to Maryland or Virginia.)

Everyone deserves housing & support regardless of where they are from. But to be clear, the majority of people experiencing homelessness in DC were born & raised here. We have friends who slept in parks next to the apartments they grew up in.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's. And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today. Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

In light of the DC raids we want to reshare our ICE watch 101 graphics. Reminder to verify, document, and then report to our hotline.
ICE WATCH 101: DC
BYSTANDER GUIDE

1. VERIFY THAT IT IS ICE
• It is important that you try & verify that it's ICE.
DC is uniquely overpoliced - apart from MPD, we have 30+ federal law enforcement agencies in the District. It can be difficult to tell them apart.
• Look at their badges, arm patches, vests/ jackets, and cars. ICE vehicles can be marked as ICE or DHS.

2. DOCUMENT BUT DO NOT ENGAGE
• Record the date, time, and location of the incident.
Be as specitic as possible!
• Take pictures and video. Try to capture pictures of the officers and their vehicles. Do NOT post the photos or video on social media.
• Other relevant info to document: How many agents are there? What are they doing?
• Do NOT engage. You could end up making things worse for the person being targeted.

3. CALL OUR HOTLINE: 202-335-1183

Mutual aid is about building collective relationships that help us get by with all the alienation & exploitation. It’s about regaining what capitalism has taken from us. We don’t just do it to protest. We do it to grow roots & press on, building the new in the shell of the old.
