Chelsea Allinger’s relationship with Greater Greater Washington goes back to not long after she moved to DC at the end of the early 2000s: On a coworker’s recommendation, she became a regular reader of what was then an urbanism blog. In 2018, she attended a workshop on running for Advisory Neighborhood Commissions in the District and decided to run for the ANC that represents her part of Mount Pleasant and won. “The work that GGWash does is aligned with the interests that have really guided my career from Day One,” Allinger says.

In later tweets, the group said it had operations in place outside the Walmart on H Street, Northwest, and the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Another tweet from a volunteer says DC Marijuana Justice has giveaways going in all eight of DC’s wards.
