From the Article |"The Maryland Alliance for Racial Equity in Education, an advocacy group that criticized Hogan for leaving out the $125 million and noted that Baltimore and Prince George’s public schools have large numbers of students of color, credited Hogan’s move to add the funding to “relentless public pressure” and said the group applauds “every advocate, ally, policymaker, parent and student who spoke out in support of Black and brown student education."

D.C. has enough cash on hand to help people facing eviction
From the Article | "As of the end of January, about 40,000 adult renters in the city were behind on their rent and might be facing the threat of eviction. Even by D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s (D) calculations, we need $187 million more for emergency rent and utility assistance. Moreover, our Rapid Rehousing program, designed to house families experiencing homelessness, will end aid to 913 families starting in March, and many of them will surely be added to the swelling numbers of the unhoused."
