@AfricanArchives This story always hits home for me - being from Roanoke. My mom and aunt remember and knew some of their family. My mom as a child was afraid to go to the circus because of the fear Black kids still had of being taken away. I can’t imagine going through this. Thank God their mom

Yay! We did it—this morning we joined @allinsea from @GGWash for Bike to Work Day. We made it to the Wilson building using a more environmentally-friendly mode of transportation.

disgusting treatment and harm. @ZacharyforWard5 ’s response should also be noted. Poised, calm, and with dignity. This is the type of leadership we need on our Council. ALL candidates running should speak up on this shameful attack. Stand up for what’s right! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 #AJustDC

This is a good question @scurvywife84211 . As a former LEO who has done law enforcement press conferences I would have distinguished the reporting by addressing “injuries” versus “harm.” So something like there are no reported injuries at this time. Additionally I would have also

On of the initiatives I worked on as a Special Agent in Charge was combatting sexual quid pro quo in housing. It was a joint effort with DOJ, HUD Fair Housing, and my division. Not only did we make criminal cases but we partnered on pattern and practice cases with DOJ and

We had a tragic day yesterday and I grieve for all. One story that wasn’t covered much was the one below which also happened along Connecticut Avenue NW. Violence against women is an issue in DC and it often doesn’t get the coverage it deserves.

High rates of speed. Insane. Getting into the park was such a relief. I’m still a bag of nerves since my son had his accident but determined to stay with it.

At the end of the @WABADC morning bike ride at Turkey Thicket Rec Center. This was a workout!🚴🏾‍♀️I will fight to create a 15-minute city for ALL DC residents, because transit equity is tied to public safety. Vote Lisa Gore for At-Large Councilmember by June 21!

One family displaced is one too many. The history of Black displacement in the city is horrifying and I will do everything in my power to make sure it remains history-not future housing policy. Together, we can build a Just DC. Donate

DNA analysis is a critical tool to close cases, increase accuracy, prevent recidivism, & support victims. We must include this in Secure DC, particularly for sexual assault & rape survivors--these cases are hard to prove & often committed multiple times.

I promised ⁦ @Campbell4DC ⁩ I would post this video of an incident at the McPherson eviction today. It really demonstrates the inhumanity of policy decisions and how they can further traumatize our neighbors, especially the most vulnerable. Glad to be a voice for him.
