Will from Marty’s Food & Catering is a great friend to our community. You may know him from Spookyville or the ANC 4B Tenant Resource Fair. His food is fantastic, and he's serving free meals across DC. If you’d like to support, your donation helps fill bellies and strengthen community.

Whittier Elementary’s Turkey Trot is happening this morning, and it was great to see so many students, families, and staff running, walking, and rolling through the neighborhood! 🦃💛You can still donate nonperishables to support families by dropping them at the school (6201 5th St NW) before 11 am.

The city has been twiddling its thumbs on what to do with the streateries for years now. Instead of these poorly implemented half measures they could’ve used that time to come up with a real plan to permanently extend sidewalks, create managed loading/drop off zones, and convert to sidewalk cafes.

NEW: The Court has ruled that the National Guard deployment to DC is illegal and granted a preliminary injunction.
As we made clear from the beginning: the US military should not be policing American citizens on American soil.
This is a victory for DC, Home Rule, and American democracy.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's DC troop deployment is likely illegal — both as to D.C. National Guard and and out-of-state National Guard units — granting DC's request to block the use of the troops in this way.
The preliminary injunction is stayed until Dec. 11.

I‘m aware of the delays and inoperative phone line facing ERAP applicants this morning.
Residents dealing with housing instability deserve a system that reliably works.
I have reached out to the Committee on Human Services who is on the ground working to ensure residents get the support they need.

Emergency rental assistance has always been a shit show. And it’s sadly a reflection of how poorly we treat those among us who need help and deserve so much better.

Reminder that #MBTpubroll is celebrating the milestone new extension of the MBT to Takoma every Thursday (non-holiday) for the rest of the year! Today we're starting at 5:30pm at Takoma Station Tavern then biking down the trail to City State. Come one, come all, come celebrate the MBT with us 🚲🍻!
Hear ye hear ye! Now that the MBT extension to Takoma is officially complete, #MBTpubroll will spend the next 4 Thursdays (sans Thanksgiving) joyously celebrating this wonderful development! Mark your calendars. Tomorrow we're starting at 5:30pm at Takoma Station Tavern then biking to City State 🚲🍻
Still some finishing touches before it's completely done/open, but the MBT #biikeDC extension up to Takoma alongside Blair was quite lovely to ride this afternoon.

Gathering now at Foggy Bottom Metro station for the #WDoR2025 to walk to the Lincoln Memorial and remember those we’ve lost to traffic violence (I am remembering Dave Salovesh today).

You know what I’m excited for? The love stories that come out of the campaign! The people who met volunteering, were filled with hope, and fell in love. Hope people share those.
At our volunteer appreciation party, I saw the faces of a movement that changed the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who knocked on a door, called a friend, put up a sign, or convinced their family this election was worth their time.
