The National Restaurant Association claims #Initiative82 would kill tipping in D.C.

But research from @metaCoop and @EconomicPolicy since 2018 shows that restaurant workers' earnings are higher in states without the "tip credit." https://twitter.com/metaCoop/status/1577664165446971392

DC is poised to join 7 states that ensure tipped workers get full minimum wage plus tips. Restaurant workers in those states have significantly higher take-home pay. https://washingtonmonthly.com/2022/10/05/dc-tipped-wage-initiative-82/

The city recently released new recommendations to increase Black homeownership in DC. Racist policies like redlining have excluded Black residents from accessing the benefits of homeownership. We must design policies to make housing more accessible. https://dcist.com/story/22/10/03/dc-new-black-homeowners/
