📉 In DC, the wealth gap is striking: the top 20% of households control nearly 90% of the city’s wealth, while the bottom 20% have just 0.1%. This disparity is not just a local issue—it's a growing trend nationwide. 🎬 Join us for a screening of "Inequality for All," an eye-opening documentary that explores the effects of this widening divide and examines potential policy solutions. 🗣️ After the film, stay for a discussion about its implications and what we can do locally to address these challenges. 📅 Don’t miss out—register now: https://lnkd.in/gf_XvtZf

#EJAFellowUpdate: As a law clerk at Bread for the City, I spent part of my week conducting research for a memo on language access — providing limited English proficient (LEP) people with access to the same services as English-speaking people. I found that under current law, the D.C. Office of Human Rights is better suited to handle language access violations than D.C. courts. Meaningful enforcement of language access policies is critical to ensure all D.C. residents understand their rights, no matter what language they speak. 🗣 Thank you to Equal Justice America for raising funds to support law students in public interest https://lnkd.in/gGjDbPy3 and to American University Washington College of Law for preparing me for this opportunity!
