Dear Friend,
I hope you are staying safe and well through this difficult time.
Yesterday, DC Council passed a number of emergency changes to protect residents and workers while work, travel, and other basic activities are not possible. We want to make sure as many people as possible know about these changes and are able to access the benefits and protections.
Please join us for a webinar tomorrow where we will go into more depth about the changes that most affect DC workers, residents, and community.

Some of the items we will cover include changes to:

DC JWJ will also be rolling out info-graphics of some of these changes in Spanish and English over the next two days. Please share them from our
Facebook and
Twitter feeds as you see them.
Stay safe. We're thinking of all of you,
Elizabeth Falcon and the whole team at DC Jobs With Justice
