Pride poster-making pizza party success! It’s not too late to march with @ggwash.org in the WorldPride Parade on Saturday. Showing up for the inclusive, safe, just world we want to see feels more important than ever. RSVP so we can email you the logistics: secure.everyaction.com/TmlJmVdn4E6q...

Carrying a @wmata.com umbrella turns out to be the fastest way to meet other good-natured transit fans. Not one but two strangers stopped me on the street today to ask where they can get a Metro umbrella and to talk about trains.

So glad @ggwash.org got to be part of the screening of Fault Lines this evening. Thank you to the directors for joining us & making this film, the orgs who came together to make the screening happen, @jerusalem.bsky.social for your insights, and @justupthepike.bsky.social for great moderation!

When McLean Gardens was built, the public housing complex was *only* available to DC transplants.
Within four months, feds realized that if they didn't instead make the apartments available to people who worked nearby, they'd create a commute nightmare.

Trees vs. transit? Why not both? McLean Gardens circa January 1943.

I’m at the @ggwash.org @smartgrowthusa.bsky.social Transit Equity teach-in and already learning things: Peter Stephan from the DC Office of Disability Rights shared that a recent study found that 54% of DC’s sidewalks are not ADA accessible. 54%!

I had the good fortune to spend today in Philly with GGWash staff & board and other friends from across the East Coast for the @welcomingneighbors.us Northeast Regional Gathering. Grateful to all who organized — great day with pro-housing rockstars. (My first-ever SEPTA experience was A+, too!)

Any day that I get to take a train is a good day, but this pre-dawn journey is made all the better thanks to the shiny new waiting area at Union Station in a former retail storefront. Presumably, this is one of many changes resulting from Amtrak’s recent takeover of commercial space management.
