Sending love and condolences to the families impacted by today’s tragic incident. 💔

But let’s be clear — flooding our streets with more federal troops is NOT the answer. DC knows how to govern DC. We don’t need federal overreach or political stunts that put our residents at risk.

Tomorrow night! 🎉🎉🎉

It’s a strange, heavy feeling when your own city starts to feel less like home and more like a place under watch. Seeing military vehicles on familiar streets and soldiers standing on corners you’ve walked a hundred times can be unsettling. #FreeDC #democracy #ThisIsOurHome
#OccupiedButNotSilent

What matters most is #community! I enjoyed hanging out w/ CM Nadeau this weekend to celebrate the new building extension of the Sitar Arts Center, joining neighbors at the 10th and Monroe Street Block Party and rallying with community leaders to make a stand against Trump’s DC occupation.

Today, I joined Councilmember @brianne Nadeau and elementary school administrators at one of our #WardOne neighborhood schools to clap our students back into the new school year.

We want to wish all of our students a happy first day of school and a successful year ahead!
