For the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, I’m honoring one of my favorite Washingtonians: Dr. Charles Richard Drew. Born and raised in DC, his groundbreaking work on blood plasma made modern blood banks possible. A true example of brilliance in service to community.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton leadership and legacy have helped shape the fight for full representation for D.C. residents, and her impact will be felt for generations.
Honored to uplift her legacy and continue the work toward full representation for our city.

Force-feeding ducks to produce foie gras is cruelty.
This practice is banned in dozens of states and countries.
DC must be a cruelty-free District

I spoke out against federal overreach and the reported takeover of D.C.’s public golf courses, because decisions about our city must be made by the people who live here.

Investing in young people, especially through STEM education is one of the most effective ways to strengthen our communities.

Time spent investing in kids today measurably improves their future prospects, leading to stronger workforce outcomes and safer communities tomorrow.

This Black Friday weekend we want to make sure our money is going to companies that side with DC communities, not Trump’s agenda.

When Congress targets D.C.’s laws, they target our people. I stood alongside neighbors and advocates to demand what every community deserves, the right to self-govern, the right to safety, and the right to be heard.
The fight for D.C. statehood and real justice continues.
