Activist @IJ. Fighting for simpler laws and less red tape for small business owners across the country. Tweets are my own.

The law earned strong support from @IJ, who said it was one of the strongest licensing reforms in the nation. https://t.co/WTVymO5UlM. I’m hopeful this will be a lifeline to our returning citizens and a boost to our local economy in the recovery.

We’re raising money to get computers and wifi to DC kids on scholarship. We can’t let them get left behind during remote learning, and you can help us! Every $ goes directly to getting tech & getting kids back to learning! https://t.co/FyVDqqvUN5

To develop a more just local economy and safer communities, I've introduced the Sidewalk Vending Zones Amendment Act to establish sidewalk vending zones for sidewalk vendors to legally operate, reform the enforcement response, and launch the first designated zone. 1/3

@ewhitmore @inst4justice Great to meet you in the session! My teammate @ellen_hamlett is actually working with home bakers in Albuquerque! Would love to talk about that and other opportunities to remove barriers to entrepreneurship.

The federal COVID-19 relief bill did not exclude people with past criminal convictions from apply for forgivable small business loans. But rules created by the Small Business Administration barred their access to funds anyway. https://t.co/zNC645msDF

We're so happy @MayorBowser signed this law, which will allow local bakers to make a living selling their delicious homemade treats to their neighbors! @IJ

I know there's a lot going on in the world but what's going on in Puerto Rico, with the earthquakes, is very important, and deserve everyone's attention.

Update re: the #NJ braiding reform ⬇️
@brookefallon w/ @IJ: "Where is this training going to be offered? Will it be offered in languages other than English? A lot of the braiders speak French or Arabic. ...how much will the training be?"

Before @chipublib became the largest public library system to nix late fees, 1 in 3 cardholders in Chicago's south side had their borrowing privileges revoked b/c of overdue fines, compared to 1 in 6 in the city's wealthier north district.
