We had a great time volunteering last week with Food and Friends to help prep the Thanksgiving dinners they will deliver to over 4,700 neighbors in need.

Thank you, Food & Friends, for the incredible work you do to serve our community in Ward 1, DC, and beyond!

We had a great time celebrating the opening of Carl F West Estates - affordable housing for seniors & grand families! Today was about belonging – about ensuring that the people who helped build this city can continue to live here with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind. Congrats to all involved.

Unfortunately, this is not a surprise to those of us who have been laser-focused on affordable housing in D.C. My response to @WCP story on the DHCD's mismanagement - forfeiting $35 million in affordable housing funds while - bailing out a developer.

DC Legendary Musicians has had an outsized impact on the advancement of artists & the culture of music in our city. I was so pleased to stand with with musicians & friends to name the alley next to Howard Theatre after this hugely important organization - a resource for musicians across the region.

The Potomac STILL isn't safe to swim. The Mayor could do something - for starters, she could support DC's Bottle Bill, which would stop pollution from entering streams & tributaries. We must hold industrial polluters accountable for the litter they create.

Great to be on the river w/ reporters. Residents deserve to live w/out litter in our streets, parks or river. The industry should be held accountable for keeping trash they make out of our neighborhoods. Thanks to School for Friends students for speaking so well (spontaneously!) at our press event!

Join me in celebrating a huge victory for working-class families across the District: we secured the first-ever District Child Tax Credit and an acceleration of the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion. 🎉

Today colleagues and I approved an increased earned income tax credit & re-established a child tax credit. At a time when the Mayor’s budget was balanced on the backs of working families @cmzparker5.bsky.social & @cmfrumin.bsky.social found a way to undo some of that damage.

Great news: DC government will cover any SNAP gap in November with local funds. Great news from the courts: the feds can't shut off SNAP.
The federal government's decision to unlawfully withhold SNAP funding will leave thousands in DC at risk of hunger, thousands of children & seniors without food on the table.

We compiled a list of Ward 1 food aid resources. Please share with neighbors in need.

Federal intrusion by law enforcement puts many residents in real danger and has taken a toll on the psyche of our city. We have no authority over federal agencies, but we do over our own police.

This weekend, expect modified service on @wmata.com's Green, Yellow, & Silver lines, plus single tracking on the Orange & Green lines.

Due to the end of Daylight Saving Time, rail service will conclude during the second 1 a.m. hour — after clocks are set back an hour.
