The law earned strong support from @IJ, who said it was one of the strongest licensing reforms in the nation. ij.org/press-release/landmar…. I’m hopeful this will be a lifeline to our returning citizens and a boost to our local economy in the recovery.
We’re raising money to get computers and wifi to DC kids on scholarship. We can’t let them get left behind during remote learning, and you can help us! Every $ goes directly to getting tech & getting kids back to learning! ij.org/support/give-now/help…
