Condolence Letter for Jim McGrath

 

It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences to the family and friends of Jim McGrath on his recent passing.

Jim will be remembered as the founder of the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition (“TENAC”). As founder of the TENAC, Jim was a leader in the fight for tenant interests, tenant rights, and strengthening and preserving rent control in the District of Columbia. He demonstrated a deep commitment to combatting the District’s affordable housing crisis, and was a strong supporter of many other important causes. I extend my thoughts and prayers to Jim’s family, and express my gratitude for his work advocating for tenants across the District.

 

He will be remembered for his advocacy and the positive mark he left on so many lives and will be greatly missed.

 

May his memory be a blessing to you, all the days of your lives.

 

Sincerely,

 

Brianne K. Nadeau

Councilmember, Ward 1

In this budget process, we dove into the weeds, found inefficiencies and waste, and applied those savings to areas of need to keep our city clean and safe and support the rights, health, and wellbeing of residents.
In a hearing this week DCPS made clear that it's leaving schools on their own to fund things like educator wellness grants, permanent substitutes, immigrant visa/green card program (for bilingual education) & other programs critical to teacher retention. The inequity is obvious: schools with well-resourced parents will find a way; other schools won't.
