We moved into Kingman Park exactly 10 years ago today, on Halloween. Such a great way to meet neighbors and spread good vibes. Every year I look forward to it. Tonight the tradition continued: positive spirits, fun costumes, candy overload. Happy Halloween to all our neighbors! 🎃 👻 🍬

SNAP news: Bowser says she'll use about $30 mil in contingency funds to ensure SNAP/WIC recipients get paid in November. She did something similar in the last long shutdown. Just yesterday she said she was waiting on the AG's lawsuit!

These buildings are most concentrated in Wards 5, 6, and 7, especially in Kingman Park and neighborhoods near the RFK redevelopment.
Once this project moves forward, these communities will feel the impact deeply, yet they haven’t been given a real chance to weigh in.

Folks across the US: Wake up & realize DC is the proving ground for this admin’s authoritarianism. ICE kidnappings, NG invasions, unlawful demolitions—they test the waters here, then spread their tentacles. Stop feigning surprise when it comes for you & start fighting back in solidarity NOW. #FreeDC

We haven't built cities for over 70 years. Instead, we have invested taxpayer dollars in transforming cities into captive markets for the auto, oil, and gas industries.

The Anacostia is a beautiful natural resource here in DC, but the litter that starts in our streets & neighborhoods & ends up in the river is a huge problem.
