Not active here. Engaging on Bluesky, Instagram & Facebook. DC Councilmember, Ward 1. Committed to expanding affordable housing & improving government services.
- Today, I'm joined by 8 of my colleagues in introducing the Walk Without Worry Amendment Act. It has been a tragic month for deaths on our roads, following tragic years of stalled progress on Vision Zero. We need to ambitiously improve our toolkit and standards for safe streets:
- I'm introducing legislation to ban the use of tear gas by District police. It is unacceptable to use tear gas or any chemical weapon that is banned in international warfare on our residents. Full release and bill below.
- As a CM, and a parent of 2 kids under 5, I am flabbergasted and angry. Why would we give up on vaccines when we have come this far? Why are we not protecting the workers in these industries? Why are we telling parents we don't care if they participate in society? I'm so F-ing madReplying to @MayorBowserBeginning February 15, 2022, indoor venues will no longer be required to verify that patrons are vaccinated. Businesses may choose to keep vaccination requirements in place.
- A stadium at RFK is not the right investment for our city.
- This week, I'm introducing the "Trick-or-Streets Amendment Act of 2022." If passed, the bill would create an expedited permit for closing local streets to vehicles on 10/31, for pedestrian safety and fostering community connections. More below, but tl;dr: 🚧🧛🏻♂️🍭🧟♂️🍬👻 🚧🚗🚙
- #DontMuteDC I'm in touch with @TMobile to inform them of the important history of this corner. See my letter to them:
- Councilmember Brianne Nadeau, husband Jayson, and big sister Zoe are pleased to welcome baby Madeline Eliza. Baby and mom and doing well.
- As many residents know, last February an encampment started at 18th and Columbia in Adams Morgan. I'm happy to report that all of the residents there have now been connected with safe and stable housing.
- Ribbon cutting (w/ toilet paper, of course!) at the new Columbia Heights restroom. There will be 6 in DC, the result of budget funds I secured. Residents, tourists, parents, kids, people w/ medical conditions, unhoused neighbors - everybody's gotta go & now they can more easily.
- Say hello to Ward 1's newest resident who arrived at 12:51pm today. Mom, Dad and baby girl are all doing well.
- Today I'm introducing legislation to further protect those seeking abortions and other essential civil liberties. DC must be a safe haven for trans youth, LGBTQ+ people who need to preserve their families, and all people who need reproductive freedom.
- Replying to @BrianneKNadeauAnd ANOTHER THING. This will have a chilling impact on businesses. People who were going out and eating indoors BECAUSE of the mandate will not do that anymore. So if this was supposed to be a pro-business thing, y'all messed up. #$%#!
- Replying to @nathanlukeylu and @erinfordcI have drafted an emergency bill to reinstate the vaccine mandate. Stay tuned.
