ACPS finally sent notice to families who are being redistricted this morning. Group texts of multilingual working class West End parents are blowing up with questions and confusion about these messages because ACPS and the school board completely failed to actually engage with these communities.

For my local Dem friends…if you are not building community you are doing it wrong: weekly volunteer events, regular social gatherings, collective actions to improve where you live. This is how you rebuild democracy.

My favorite costumes were from middle schoolers. Some did full face paint. Some were store bought. Some were in sweatshirts and were putting candy in their pockets and did not have a bag. Some were insanely creative and played the part. More time for these kids to be kids!!

Every teen out tonight is a teen not glued to a screen tonight. We should celebrate and encourage kids of all ages (and grown ups!) to get out of the house and enjoy some IRL stuff.

Maybe they done could’ve figured out a way to deal with the extreme overcrowding in West End school FACILITIES and find a TRANSPORTATION solution if the Executive Director for Facilities and Operations wasn’t collecting a six figure full time paycheck without doing a full time job.

Was a safety volunteer at a morning protest that had about 1000 with tons of honking cars going by, then went to DC where it was like a big street party. Danced the slide with tons of lovely people in red, white and blue and inflatable animal costumes.
💙❤️to our country today!

This is a great opportunity to learn bike infrastructure in Alexandria and to become comfortable on group rides!!
Book 📖 your spot: Le Tour d'Alexandria, a leisurely 13-mile ride to ALX Libraries. We'll have an Eco-City spokes-person 🛞 to pedal 🚴 climate facts. Saddle up 🏇 exercise is a cycle-logically 😁 proven mood booster. Hope you aren't two-tired of our puns! 👏 https://alexlibraryva.org/alexandria-bike-tour
