Contra last year’s failed vote, today the D.C. Council approved raising taxes on wealthy residents to pay for homeless services, early childhood education, and financial assistance for low-income families. ⁦@allyschweitzer⁩ has the story: dcist.com/story/21/07/20…

We call on all Councilmembers to stand with essential workers and compensate them for their hard work by supporting CM Silverman Office amendment to pass and fully fund the #HeroesPayAct

Healthcare workers were on the frontlines of the pandemic risking their life to help the rest of the city survive this terrible pandemic. It is long past time for them to receive Hero Pay #HeroesPayAct

We are also grateful for the support and leadership of Robert White CM Trayon White Janeese Lewis George CM Christina Henderson in the committee vote that included Hero Pay and we hope that we can count on your support for this amendment

We applaud CM Silverman Office for introducing an amendment to restore many worker priorities including #HeroesPayAct in the final budget

Thank you.

Thank you Elissa Silverman!
