Elige a tu luchador: ¡edición Semana sin Carro! 🥊 Esta semana es una oportunidad para identificar formas de mejorar los horarios de los autobuses, conectar las ciclovías, reparar las aceras y mucho más. ¡Hagamos que sea más fácil, más rápido y más seguro desplazarnos por DC!
Choose Your Fighter: Week Without Driving edition! 🥊 This week is a chance to note ways to improve bus times, bike lane connectivity, sidewalk repairs, and more. Whether you ride transit, bike, or are a pedestrian, let's make it easier, faster, and safer to move around DC!
**As we have not yet won the general election, there is no official transition or hiring process, and this form does not guarantee a job in the office or moving forward in a hiring process. After November 3rd, if we win, our team may reach out to speak more with you about your skills and experience.
Interested in working in the Ward 1 DC Council office?
While right now, we're focused on the general election, we're also gauging interest from people dedicated to fighting for a better Ward 1 in the Council office if we win.
Share your interest by November 8 here: airtable.com/app5UvQUZgEw...
Just three town halls left this fall! Governing for all of us will take all of us.
Our next stop is in Columbia Heights- see more information and RSVP to any of our town halls here:
People turned OUT for last night’s Ward One for All town hall for Park View & Pleasant Plains at Hook Hall (& feat. SBOE Ward 1 rep Ben Williams)! There was lots of energy around expanding tenant protections, renovating the Park View Rec Center, ending MPD collaboration with ICE, and more 💥
One year after the occupation started, and it’s dangerously escalating.
A surge of armed troops and a helicopter at a school don’t make families feel safe, they just serve to intimidate and keep people living in fear.

The power of a union! ✊🏾
This is so cool for the Spirit & NWSL and shows how organized workers can bargain for working conditions that meet their needs. As Councilmember, I'll fight to support both new families and workers' ability to form a union.

Let’s elect another DC statehood supporter to Congress:
“Politics isn’t about just doing what’s popular, it’s about making what’s right popular.”
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social’s 2018 campaign inspired me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. I can’t wait to have him in the Senate!
We’re visiting four more neighborhoods this fall- come on out and help us shape our next government!
Last night, we met with neighbors from U Street, LeDroit Park, and Shaw to hear their priorities around housing, economic development, government services, and more. Thank you to everyone who came out to share your ideas for a Ward 1 for All! 💭💛
All across the Ward this weekend with Art All Night in Mount Pleasant, U Street, and Shaw, and then Adams Morgan Day! ✨🎨 Art is joyful, but it’s also political and we’re so lucky to have so many incredible artists in Ward 1 and DC.
Between the closure of MedStar Washington Hospital Center’s postpartum unit, and cuts at Unity Health Care, private health companies prioritizing their profits over patients puts us all at risk.
Joined @nationalnurses.bsky.social, @dcjwj.bsky.social, and community members last night to push back.
Thousands of people in the DC area would be affected if TPS for El Salvador expires. I'm glad it's in tact for now, but this constant instability is another part of the cruelty this administration has inflicted on immigrants who have built their lives here and are undoubtedly part of our community.
¡Empieza el otoño con nosotros! 🏈
Es temporada de fútbol americano, y el partido inaugural se juega entre los Commanders y mi equipo favorito desde que crecí en PA: los Philadelphia Eagles (🫣).
¡Acompáñanos a ver el partido en Midlands este domingo!
Kick off fall with us! 🏈
It’s football season, and opening weekend is a matchup between the Washington Commanders and divisional rival, and my favorite team from growing up in PA, the Philadelphia Eagles (🫣).
Join us for a watch party at Midlands on Sunday!
Happy Labor Day! ✊🏾 A more affordable DC means giving workers more power. Today, I joined @DCLabor at the Greenbelt Labor Day parade and Friday I joined a seminar about how local government can partner with worker orgs and unions to co-enforce labor law.
We often talk about what our government should be, but with @janeese4dc.bsky.social as our next mayor, we can dream about what our government could be. 💜 Last night’s @janeese4dc.bsky.social Ward 1 listening session brought neighbors together around housing, good jobs, childcare and more!
