From today’s community lobby day, where we turned out to protect DC autonomy in federal budget passed this week! We made it clear: DC home rule stays, and that means no federal interference in our laws, budget, or democracy. As always, great to partner w/ @freedcproject.bsky.social #FreeDC

PATHETIC! Maryland has A+ potential to be a shining beacon to the nation and the world when it comes to accelerating the transition to affordable, healthy, renewable energy. Yet, our grades for this year were Cs and Ds. We must demand better from our legislators. @ccanactionfund.bsky.social
