What is affordable housing? Who is it for, and how do we get more of it? (Hint: legalize more kinds of housing, get rid of poison pill regulations, and get creative with public housing loan funds!)
The President is taking over DC to distract from the Epstein files. Real community safety programs are about harm reduction - and the biggest threat to public safety today is financial desperation driven by high costs and low incomes.
Legalizing single-stair buildings would reduce housing costs across North Carolina. It's not yet a partisan issue, so your legislator should be able to listen when you ask for it!
You can now catch a GoTriangle bus every 15 minutes between downtown Chapel Hill and downtown Durham on the 400 and 405 lines! Free for youths, seniors, and low-income riders, and lots of discounts for local employees.
Parents are struggling to find affordable childcare in North Carolina. Actually, they're struggling to find childcare at all: five families compete for every spot in a licensed facility. We need universal pre-K!
The Chapel Hill Town Council upholding the values of our community. A special thank you to @theonollert.bsky.social for leading this effort. #communityvalues#publicsafety
That's why we all need to keep showing up. It's why we need to keep sharing our opinions, building our community, and staying true to the vision of a better life that has motivated the best aspects of American history.
It's easy to forget that when everything is going more or less ok. But we absolutely cannot hide or shrink back when our democracy is under threat. An attack on any elected official is an attack on you, your rights, and our democracy. It's an attack on all of us.
But I also feel resolve. I serve because I love my town, my state, and my country. I serve because I love my fellow Americans. Courage is the cost of admission for elected officials, and it's the price of participation in a democracy for all of us.
Right now I feel sadness and anxiety. I am sad for the people who were injured and killed, for their families and friends, and for all of us who have to live in a country where this happens all too often to people who aren't also politicians.
Senseless acts of violence like the Minnesota shootings are designed to terrify and intimidate us into silence, and I don't think anyone who holds office should be silent in the face of violence that threatens the foundations of our democracy.
Enjoyed biking up Manning Drive to the UNC Men's Baseball team win over Holy Cross! One of the attendants insisted that we could not possibly have biked there when we ducked under a rope to retrieve our bikes. Here's the proof! 😂
