ICYMI: The House #ClimateSolutionsCaucus relaunched this summer! 🎉
We're grateful that @EleanorNorton has has been serving on the Climate Solutions Caucus since its founding in 2016, and we can't wait to see what #bipartisan legislation comes out of the reignited group.
I love spending time on DC's water, and so I'm glad to see funding for @dcwater to continue cleaning up the Anacostia, Potomac, and Rock Creek in this bill! A huge shout-out to @EleanorNorton for securing these funds!
It's great to see funding for flood control and for cleaning up local waterways in this bill! Thank you @EleanorNorton for all of your hard work getting these funds for the District. We can always count on you to stand up for DC residents and help protect our environment!
If you consider yourself an advocate for sustainable and safe transportation systems then you also need to be a stronger supporter of DC statehood - like right now
In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions.

There is no environmental justice without the end of racial discrimination, violence, and bigotry.
Environmental Justice requires the rehabilitation of black communities after centuries of dis-investment and exclusion.
Congratulations, @EleanorNorton! 🙌
Transportation is a major source of carbon pollution, causing environmental, health, & other problems--including in DC.
