Good news! After a year-long campaign spearheaded by Connect-DC, Verizon has finally agreed to bring high-speed Fiber Optic Service (FiOS) to the Nations' Capital. BUT don't pop the cork just yet! Many of the city's neighborhoods have been left out of the plan entirely. Moreover, unlike in Maryland and Virginia, Verizon has yet to make firm job commitments for DC.

Calling all volunteers!! As the winter creeps up on us, so does the lack of motivation to get out of bed in the morning. But we cannot abandon our call to teach English to day laborers. I think if they can get up every morning, hours before I do, then I can get up twice a week and teach some English for half an hour. I cannot do this alone! I need your help!
