SUMMARY:Take the 2020 U.S. Census
DESCRIPTION:2020 U.S. Census: First the bad news: the deadline for responding to the 2020 Census has been cut short by a month to September 30 and DC lags the U.S. response rate. The good news is that it takes just a few minutes to get counted online\, over the phone or by mail—all without having to meet someone in person. All you need is your address to respond. The Census is a once-a-decade undertaking to count every person – regardless of age\, nationality or immigration status – who currently lives in the United States. Billions of dollars in Federal financial assistance\, such as emergency funding in support COVID-19 operations\, is directly tied to the Census\, so please take a few minutes for your city and get counted! \n

SUMMARY:PARK(ing) Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT  \nJoin MVT CID as we celebrate PARK(ing) Day 2020 this Friday\, September 18 from 9am-4pm. A global event that occurs annually in September\, PARK(ing) Day is aimed at reclaiming on-street parking spaces by temporarily transforming them into exciting and imaginative park spaces or “parklets.” We’re working closely with partners to showcase a diverse range of public infrastructure initiatives – from open space and utility enhancements\, to non-motorized transportation and alley safety improvements – all designed to support Mount Vernon Triangle’s continued growth and maturation. \nWHERE & HOW \nLocated in front of Lydian + Lyric Apartments and the Joe & The Juice\, Varnish Lane and la Betty retail storefronts at 400 K Street NW\, and in line with public health protocols for social distancing\, MVT CID’s parklet will feature a mix of virtual and in-person opportunities for all to safely enjoy. \nSCHEDULE \nPARK(ing) Day is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more and about important public realm initiatives with wide-spread community impact\, so check out the schedule below and plan to stop by in person or RSVP to tune in by Zoom for any or all of the programming opportunities featured below: \n9:30-10:30am: Mount Vernon Substation & Capital Grid Project with Pepco. As part of Pepco’s Capital Grid Project currently underway\, a new Mount Vernon Substation will be constructed at 1st & K Streets NW to support of our community’s electricity and power needs as we continue to grow.

SUMMARY:Federal Experiments and Their Consequences: Urban Renewal with DC History Center
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Historical Society of Washington\, D.C. invite you to join them on Wednesday\, September 23 at 7:30pm for the virtual conversation\, “Federal Experiments and Their Consequences: Urban Renewal.” Journalist and activist Sam Smith and local reporter Derrick Ward will address these questions and more during the online discussion: \n\nWhat are some of the federal experiments that reshaped our city?\nWhen and how did Washingtonians band together to take control of their destiny?\nWhere were federal government programs when we most needed them?\nHow does the lack of voting representation in Congress touch the lives of Washingtonians?\n\nVisit the related link to below for a complete description of the event and to RSVP. A suggested registration donation of $20 is requested (if able to pay) to support current and future program costs. Located immediately adjacent to Mount Vernon Triangle at The Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square\, The Historical Society of Washington DC and its DC History Center help to collect\, interpret and share the history of our Nation’s Capital. \nToday more than 700\,000 people are without a voice when the country’s lawmakers decide to take consequential actions such as going to war or impeaching a president. The founders thought proximity to power would mean access to power for Washingtonians. Instead\, the city’s position as home to the federal government and under its legal control has often made DC a laboratory for such federal experiments as urban renewal\, in which citizens and local lawmakers have no say. Smith and Ward have written about – and lived through – many years of DC’s experiences as an experimental lab for Congress. They will look at the history of urban renewal across the District to consider implications of federal control for our current day. \nTo participate in this virtual event\, please register here to receive your link to the Zoom event.

Located immediately adjacent to Mount Vernon Triangle at The Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square\, The Historical Society of Washington DC and its DC History Center helps to collect\, interpret and share the history of our Nation’s Capital.

SUMMARY:Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib : Busboys and Friends Zoom Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Busboys and Poets has always been a place for artists\, activists\, and writers of the community to gather and break bread. And while we may be physically distant right now\, we can still stay connected and break bread together. \nJoin us on Zoom for Busboys and Friends: A Virtual Dinner Party held every Friday night at 6 pm. Hosted by CEO and Founder\, Andy Shallal with a special dinner guest each week. \nOrder your favorite meal and beverage from Busboys and Poets\, set your table\, and tune in for a special dinner with some of the most influential leaders of our time. \nThis week’s very special dinner guest is Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. \nRashida Tlaib is a well-known progressive warrior and\, in her own words\, “a mother working for justice for all.” Her two young sons are at the root of her unwavering passion to help change lives for the better. She is the oldest of 14 children\, born and raised in Detroit\, the proud daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents. \nRashida made history in 2008 by becoming the first Muslim woman to ever serve in the Michigan Legislature. She is beloved by residents for the transformative constituent services she provided\, and for successfully fighting the billionaires and corporations that tried to pollute her district. When families get to know Rashida\, they have no doubt that she will work tirelessly to knock down barriers for real change\, and whether by policy or action\, she will roll up her sleeves to make sure her residents are cared for\, no matter how big the challenge. \nWhen billionaire slumlord Matty Moroun refused to follow the law and get polluting semi-trucks off neighborhood streets\, Rashida organized residents with the We Have A Right To Breathe campaign and forced Moroun to fulfill his obligations to protecting public health. When large piles of black dust started showing up on the Detroit riverfront and blowing into homes and parks\, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality told residents everything was fine\, Rashida collected samples and got the substance tested herself – exposing the cancer-causing “petroleum coke” as a threat\, and getting it removed. \nAs an attorney at the Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice\, Rashida took the movement to the courts\, fighting racist emergency managers\, abusive state agencies\, and leading the fight for community benefits agreements that promote equitable development. Rashida knows that effective advocacy requires an all-out approach\, fighting in the community\, in the legislature\, and in the courts every day against injustice and inequality\, so that every single person in this country has a chance to thrive. \nShe is currently the Congresswoman for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District\, which includes the city of Detroit and many surrounding communities. \nFREE\, RSVP via Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link 24 hours before the event date.
