Press Conference at "Poplar Point"
Wednesday, 12 September 2007 01:00
Sep 12 - Today ONE DC Anacostia resident leaders announced the preliminary results of their door-to-door survey of Ward 8 households regarding the future of Poplar Point.
A few highlights of the survey results, which may contradict conventional wisdom:
64% of the residents surveyed heard about the proposed redevelopment from the interviewer, at the moment of the survey (and the reason we also created an informational flyer about Poplar Point).
87% were opposed to building another stadium (no matter how it was financed, according to our interviewers).
81% were opposed to any kind of market-rate development at Poplar Point.
72% were in favor of restoring Poplar Point as a full part of Anacostia Park.
79% thought all new housing units should be affordable to people making less than $30,000 a year.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Latino Co-op Celebrates First Birthday
On July 21, 2007, the co-op commemorated its first birthday and celebrated the approval of a sizable loan for much needed building renovations. Good food and good music did not keep members from reflecting on the co-op's core values: shared leadership, participatory democracy, mutual assistance, and the rights of the collective over those of the individual.
Members shared their visions for the co-op's long-term growth. Ideas included guaranteeing the co-op's affordable housing costs; founding worker-owned businesses; starting a community clinic; and even planting a co-op garden on the roof.
