This morning, I had the pleasure of visiting Whittier ES to speak with the incredible 2nd graders about what it means to serve our community.
Impressed by their thoughtful questions about civic engagement and inspired by all the ways they are already making a difference.

Since Day One of the federal occupation of DC, I have urged @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social to use every legal tool available to protect the rights of the District’s residents.
Thank you AG Schwalb and your team for defending DC autonomy in the face of an authoritarian assault on our city.

Energized and inspired to be with @localprogress.bsky.social discussing what local leadership must look like in the face of rising authoritarianism.
As a District, we know that the way we turn away from fascism is by showing up for our neighbors and building community power, block by block.

On Thursday, our fall pop-ups came to a close at Riggs LaSalle Rec Center!
Whether helping neighbors sign up for DC services or hearing ideas for new legislation, it's been amazing to see agencies, ANCs and neighbors come together to make sure our community has the support we need.

The Metropolitan Branch Trail is more than just a bike path -- it connects us to each other, to schools and work and recreation, and to a vibrant alternative to sitting in traffic.
