“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone have any great places to donate to in the area? We have lots of clothing but also housewares, books, etc. I frequently donate to Martha’s Table and other big organizations but I’m wondering if there might be any great ones that I don’t know about or for communities that have been hit particularly hard by the current political state of affairs, etc. Thank you!!”

Some serious allegations from the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced a lawsuit against Talea Ristorante and its owner, Hamza Hadani, for systematically stealing employees’ wages and violating other laws that protect District workers. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that Talea and Hadani pay their employees less than half of the tipped minimum wage, fail to ensure tipped workers’ take-home pay meets the regular minimum wage, and deny workers paid sick leave and overtime pay, even as some of them work 70-hour weeks. The investigation also found that Hadani prohibits workers from discussing their pay with one another and then retaliates against those who protest their mistreatment by threatening and firing them.

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said today that President Trump’s derogatory comments calling for a federal “takeover” of D.C. are anti-democratic, based on misinformation, and belittling to the 700,000 residents of the nation’s capital. Trump’s comments were made prior to an expected executive order related to the District of Columbia.
“We have made significant progress in our historic march toward making D.C. the 51st state, and President Trump’s comments, a continuation of the anti-democratic rhetoric from Republicans concerning the District of Columbia, despite their basis in falsehoods, is evidence of that progress,” Norton said. “These types of remarks are attempts to remove what small measure of democracy the more than 700,000 D.C. residents, a majority of whom are Black and Brown, have.
“The Revolutionary War was fought to give consent to the governed and to end taxation without representation. President Trump’s rhetoric runs counter to this history. D.C.’s population is larger than that of two states. (more…)
