Last night I joined many volunteers across DC to conduct the annual Point in Time Count to help estimate how many people are currently unhoused in the city I want to share some observations from our few hours of work 🧵

I think it’s phenomenal when women share personal stories of getting the reproductive care they need—especially elected officials. Abortion is healthcare. #wewontgoback

Three years ago I miscarried in the second trimester of a pregnancy. It’s a painful memory but something many women have experienced.   I traveled hours to the nearest clinic, and I encountered anti-choice protesters. Thankfully I got the care I needed that day.

Made this way easier to look at and check out for yourselves on this interactive infographic at link below👇. Overall crime, violent crime, and property crime last year were at the lowest rate they have been in DC in at least 14 years. infogram.com/dc-crime-stats

A handful of local politicians want you to think we live in "an increasingly lawless city": But both DC's property crime and violent crime rates were the lowest in at least 14 years last year, and continue their long-term decline.

I just genuinely don't understand at this point how almost every major outlet can continue to report on Section 230 as if it's in a vacuum and doesn't impact almost ever other major social issue of our time. If SCOTUS narrows 230, expect a lot of this:
wired.com
Section 230 Is a Last Line of Defense for Abortion Speech Online
Dobbs should be a wake-up call for anyone seeking to undercut the immunity protections afforded by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

In 2017 Republicans moved mountains to cut taxes for corporations. This week their first vote in a new Congress was to make it easier for the rich to cheat on their taxes.  I will not stop fighting like hell to make sure corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. twitter.com/crampell/statu…

Here’s info on volunteering for Portland’s 2023 Point in Time Count:

Metro
@oregonmetro
Sign up to volunteer for the 2023 Point In Time Count! Led by PSU's Homelessness Research and Action Collaborative in collaboration with the three counties, it will gather important data about people experiencing homelessness in the greater Portland area. bit.ly/3WwktNI
Blue square with white and yellow text that reads: "Sign up to volunteer for the first Point in Time Count that will include all of the Portland metro area, happening in late January. The Point in Time Count collects important data about who is experiencing homelessness in our region, and you can be a part of it!" A border of buildings and other objects in white line art sits at the bottom of the box.

Find out more about the count at that link or on this flier. The more volunteers, the better the data. PIT Counts are always undercounts of the unhoused community, but volunteering DOES make a difference.
