The Week Ahead….& Some Photos from the Past Week

Posted June 26, 2022

Tuesday was DC’s Primary Election Day but a lot of the 108,000 residents who voted cast mail in ballots. This was the scene at Eastern Market Polling Station about 10:00am. Results: Mayor: M. Bowser 48.95%, R. White 40.51%, T. White 8.86%; Ward 6 CM: Charles Allen (unopposed) 96.33%; Chair of City Council: P. Mendelson 53.25%, E. Palmer 46.39%; U.S. Representative: Eleanor Norton 86.8%

Friday morning, the Supreme Court handed down its decision overturning Roe vs. Wade. It didn’t take long for the US Capitol Police Board to close off the East Plaza of the US Capitol to the public. Demonstrators opposed to the decision and those who supported it filled First Street in front of the Court.

Here’s the scene on First Street about noon on Saturday as demonstrators returned to the street and opponents of the decision interacted with supporters.
Sunday afternoon about 4pm, supporters of the Supreme Court decision had pretty much left the field to the opponents.

And here’s some video of what it was like.
The annual Barracks Row July 4th Parade is on….

And so is Silent Disco on C Street by Eastern Market Friday night.
