What Memorial Day means to me.

h/t to @joshfornorwalk.bsky.social for the idea.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Earlier this week, I was elected by my colleagues to serve as the Common Council’s majority leader. It’s a huge honor and I am ready for the challenge. I am really excited to work with our excellent new Council President, Barbara Smyth!

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now.

I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.
