This work has never been about one person, it’s about all of us.

Showing up. Speaking out. Staying consistent.

That’s how change happens.

This is the DC I’m fighting for!

Congress, not the Executive Branch alone has the authority to declare war.
The recent U.S.strikes on Iran raise serious concerns about the lack of congressional authorization.
D.C. residents are denied control over our own tax dollars,yet federal funds move quickly toward military escalation abroad.

For the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, I’m honoring one of my favorite Washingtonians: Dr. Charles Richard Drew. Born and raised in DC, his groundbreaking work on blood plasma made modern blood banks possible. A true example of brilliance in service to community.
