We had a great night supporting Christina Hines for Congress in MI-10! As a prosecuting attorney in Washtenaw County, she protected our most vulnerable and worked to hold powerful interests accountable. Michigan, let’s send her to Washington!

Today was meaningful. Witnessing this history allows us to trace the origins of injustice and oppression. Honoring the past can equip us with the moral clarity and necessary knowledge to advocate for social justice today. We must do better. #A2Council

Ena and I joined Michigan Democratic leaders in Detroit to watch some football and hear from Kentucky’s Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social. To answer the question on everyone’s mind — yes, he is rooting for the Lions today!

In 2020, I got a call from Jacob Inosencio with an idea — an initiative to combat local food insecurity and improve sustainability efforts. Five years later, this idea has blossomed into a nonprofit that meaningfully expanded food access for an entire community. I'm proud of us.

I am so proud that my Alma Mater has rejected the White House's preferential funding compact — instead choosing to prioritize its core mission and academic freedom over financial incentives. These choices continue to be important.
Last week it was MIT. Yesterday, Brown said no. Today, UPenn has rejected the compact, making it 1/3 of the schools who were initially asked rejecting it.
Penn rejects White House proposal for special funding treatment
With the decision, Penn becomes the third university to decline the offer.

I had so much fun joining @moreneighborsa2.org to talk about growth trends in Michigan. Young people are prioritizing attractive places, accessible housing, and ease of transportation. It's encouraging to see a grassroots effort emerge in Ann Arbor to prioritize these needs and take hold! #A2Council

Cities are developing a new approach to developing housing: Integrating it into mixed-use library projects. These investments improve neighborhood vitality, add housing & improve services.
In new research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, I create a database of such projects & point to success stories ⏬

Truly the best place ever to have cut my teeth as a local elected. Libraries serve the public in so many ways because of course institutions of learning are institutions of DOING. Thank you, @aadl.org!
We are thrilled to announce that @aadl.org plans to acquire the Ann Arbor Observer!
Public ownership of local news media is more important than ever, and this acquisition builds on years of partnership and archival work to ensure the future of this priceless community asset.

I gathered some friends to join me in support of SOS Community Services. We left inspired by those fighting to provide shelter and housing security in Washtenaw County. This new generation recognizes that housing is a fundamental necessity. We must continue to prioritize this important work!

It was a genuine honor to stand in support of Garrett's Space and their vital mission in our community. We must all commit to prioritizing the mental health and wellbeing of young people throughout Washtenaw County.

Did a thing here in my low-density city of Ann Arbor. Thanks for coming out and hearing me speak to how being neighborly can be anti-racist work, and how when we oppose density we oppose people we should know and care about.
