Thanks to @nnamdikid.bsky.social & Tom Sherwood for the convo on our upcoming roundtable. Residents are scared & angry about D.C. government coordination with federal law enforcement. I invite you to submit your concerns to my Council colleagues and me: brianneknadeau.com/human-rights...

Today on @wamu.org's Politics Hour we covered one of my favorite topics: DC's bottle bill! I grew up with a 10-cent deposit in Michigan & I am proud to introduce legislation to bring a similar program to the District to get litter off our streets & out of our rivers. brianneknadeau.com/bottle-bill/

Today we're talking all things consumer protection at the Committee on Public Works & Operations. I'm chairing a hearing on three bills that seek to protect District residents as concert goers, renters, and homeowners. Here's the quick rundown as we continue to hear from 100+ public witnesses.

Truancy and chronic absenteeism is a crisis we need to tackle if our students are going to reach their full potential. At yesterday's Council hearing, I was eager to hear from educators about what's working and what isn't. Now it's up to us to work together. We can't keep failing our kids.

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.

My bottle bill, which receives its 1st hearing tomorrow, will dramatically increase recycling rates. brianneknadeau.com/bottle-bill/
