Safe streets & public schools & thriving neighborhoods. Googledocs with suggested edits are my love language.

The budget deal has $15M to help Richmond demolish the coliseum.

The $20M to fix up the water treatment plant also made the cut.

So did the $50M for the combined sewer overflow project

There will be a lot of stories like this.

While I know Danny will be an amazing leader for Richmond, I’m reeling overall at the state of the world. Anyone would be in their rights to retreat from the public sector right now. & if that’s you, I hope you rest& find care. You deserve it. But then let’s get to work.

As goes ALEXSIS, so goes the city..?

[Alexsis Rodgers @aerodgers]

I would love to vote early but I'm still undecided on the Mayor’s Race. Who are these folks voting for mayor? 👀

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.

I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

The security staff at the courthouse told me to “put your phone in the bushes outside” when I dared to travel there without a single occupancy vehicle.

[sarah @say_rahh__]

Learned the hard way that the John Marshall Courthouse no longer has lockers out front, despite @CityRichmondVA's website saying they do. The deputy told me to "put it in my car" but guess what? I rode the bus! You know what often happens in this scenario? People miss court!

[RVA Rapid Transit @RVARapidTransit]

VA Dept. of Health, Office of Health Equity Director Sandra Serna collaborated with us on our 2024 State of Transit Report to highlight the links between public health and public transit.

"Access to reliable transit is fundamental to achieving health equity."

[Notorious RBM @Morr_Ruth]

@BossRVA Fwiw, he worked at the state level for 4 ish years and local for 15. (Including as my boss at the city health dept 🫡)

[Notorious RBM @Morr_Ruth]

In these hottest of times, note the walkable areas around our established cooling centers. And remember the walk to reach healthy cooling will be through 100+ degree heat indexes along roads lacking tree cover. Shoutout @jer_science and team for this new look at our heat burdens

[Jeremy Hoffman @jer_science]

First we find that heat-related illness responses are not distributed evenly across Richmond’s population - residents who are male, Black, and 50+ are disproportionately represented in the data, with additional associations with mental health issues and homelessness. 2/

Leadership in the GA on street safety … enough to make a girl teary with gratitude.. 😢🫶🚲

[Michael Jones @thedrmikejones]

This past session, several pieces of legislation failed that would have made our streets safer. Everyone deserves to be safe while walking or biking in any part of the Commonwealth. So please make time to join us for this event.

[Justice Forward VA @JusticeFwdVa]

It’s been 6 years since Marcus-David Peters was needlessly shot and killed by police. Marcus was unarmed, undressed and suffering a mental health crisis. Virginia still has yet to enact any measure to ensure people are safe from law enforcement when in crisis. #helpnotdeath

[Kelley Losier @KelleyLosier]

Two drivers are responsible for killing a pedestrian who was standing ON THE SIDEWALK and yet the drivers broke no laws?

Richmond’s delegation must do whatever they can to update our criminal code next session to ensure drivers like this face criminal consequences.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

NEW: 7 blocks in downtown Houston are going to be permanently transformed into a people-place and pedestrian promenade. From Rusk Street to Allen’s Landing Park.

No trial or pilot. Not seasonal. Permanent.

If Houston can do it, what’s your city’s excuse?

@ChestyFitz Ok JUST pepper spray🥲😟🫣

[Notorious RBM @Morr_Ruth]

I’d like clarity on state police, vcu pd, and local pd coordination, planning, and actions. All three were on scene (and may be again)- who made the call to use tear gas? Who decided on riot gear? Which leaders directed this course of action?

[Roberto Roldan @ByRobertoR]

Sad to see the @RichmondPolice Department learned nothing from 2020 and the subsequent civil rights lawsuits, including the 1A suit brought by reporters and citizen journalists.

[Megan E. Pauly @Megan__Pauly]

I'm hearing reports of students pepper sprayed by police outside the @VCU library last night, who weren't even at the protest. Did this happen to you? I'd love to hear from you. My cell is 316-617-7403.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Richmond, VA has speed cameras at 2 elementary schools. In the first month, they're cranking out 176 speeding tickets a day.

Cameras are only active during the mornings & afternoons on school days, and they're only snagging people going 11+ over the speed limit.
