Community concerns

Graphic by Bruna Costa

The District’s community is exclusively private when it comes to outsiders. Outsiders are those who live in the city but were not born in it. Washingtonians have a secret code saying, “This does not include you.”

The code works in two ways. First, a feeling we get from the D.C. government: No love for its citizens. Second, we must fend for ourselves while expecting to be taken advantage of. So now it’s time to turn it up against all of those against us.
