COVID-19: What’s happening with residents living in DC Ward 7 & 8…..

Advocates in the District’s Wards 7 and 8 are working to increase Covid-19 resources in those communities.

Covid-19 has hit all of us in some shape or form, whether individually, family members, friends or acquaintances. It is all encompassing.

But, the coronavirus has especially hit certain communities hard.
