Exciting update! Today, I funded a free Masters in Social Work program for DC residents at UDC in my committee budget. As we face staggering vacancies in the mental health and social work spaces, I want to create a pipeline of people from our communities serving those communities
The Council passed my Pathways to #BehavioralHealth Degrees Act! This creates a *free* Master's in Social Work program at @udc_edu for residents & people working in DC. This will build the pipeline of specialists we need to get at the root of issues like crime and homelessness.
TODAY’S THE DAY! Our new bus network is OFFICIALLY here! Thank you to our team members, partners, local leaders, & most of all, our customers for going on this ride with us. It’s been a labor of love - years in the making - & we can’t wait for you to get to know the network 🎉

Two hours sitting on the tracks with no news from @amtrak after my previous train was suddenly cancelled in New York on my way to DC. The issue now on this second train is that there is no engineer and no ETA for when one might come.
@51stnews Just donated ☺️ Best of luck!! I can’t imagine how much work has gone into this - your commitment to local journalism is more important than ever
