Chronic absenteeism is a crisis we need to tackle if our students are going to reach their full potential. At yesterday's Council hearing, I was eager to hear from educators about what's working & what isn't. Now it's up to us to work together. We can't keep failing our kids.

'Canning, she says, changed her life.' An amazing @scienceline story about Josefa, a canner for 30 years & now head of a @SureWeCanNYC redemption center. Bottle bills not only improve recycling rates, they bring tangible economic benefits.

After years laboring in the shadows, the new manager of a recycling center sheds light on the importance of those collecting the city's cans.

The industry is responsible for creating codes or other methods to ensure that only containers sold in DC are given refunds. The industry has many tools at its disposal and the system has worked well in every other bottle bill state for decades. 4/4 https://t.co/6D9jh6MFyF

Stores with under 2,000 sq ft devoted to the display of merchandise are exempted. Grocers and other retailers that do redeem beverage containers will be paid a generous handling fee per container to cover the cost of taking back, handling, and storing bottles and cans. 3/4

The industry has never been able to prove that a bottle bill has increased beverage prices in any state or country. In fact, container redemption programs put money back into our local communities through employment opportunities as "canners," at grocers & redemption centers. 2/4

The D.C. Council hearing on the proposed bottle-bill starts shortly, with more than 200 people signed up to testify. Ahead of the hearing, @MayorBowser's administration has come out against the bill, saying it's a new obstacle for businesses already facing challenges.

How will DC's bottle bill system protect against fraud? Reverse vending machines can read market-specific codes & reject those not sold in DC. We can educate residents to place out-of-state containers in recycling bins and limit how many containers can be returned at one time.

The Anacostia is a beautiful resource here in DC, but the litter that starts in our streets & neighborhoods & ends up in the river is a huge problem. My bottle bill, which receives its 1st hearing tomorrow, will dramatically increase recycling rates. https://t.co/hImgkxmnBZ

Small retailers (less than 2,000 square feet) are not required to collect/redeem containers under DC's bottle bill. But they are allowed to opt-in and might want to - retailers are paid a generous handling fee! Learn more bottle bill facts: https://t.co/6D9jh6Ndod

There are many factors that impact the price of a beverage. There is no evidence that a bottle bill is one of them in any state or other country. Get more bottle bill facts, like how it is expected to exponentially improve DC's recycling rate, here: https://t.co/6D9jh6Ndod

Traffic safety is public safety & repeat dangerous drivers threaten us all. The STEER Act, which I introduced with @charlesallen, allows us to hold the most egregious offenders accountable, even if they live outside DC. Thank you CM Allen & AG Schwalb for your leadership.
NEW: We won our first court judgment against a dangerous driver under the STEER Act. The Court ordered Ayanna Wilson to pay $77,100 for over 200 dangerous driving violations. We also filed 12 new lawsuits against Maryland and Virginia drivers with nearly 2,000 traffic offenses.

Imposing a $500 fine or sending an unhoused person to jail for 30 days is cruel & shameful. Being unhoused is not a crime. Congress must reject H.R. 5163. Every resident has the right to safe & affordable housing. We must continue our work to secure that right for everyone.

“We don’t need federal police patrolling our streets, intimidating our residents, shadowing our police. And we don’t need ICE in our community at all, disappearing our people and targeting folks just because of the color of their skin.” —@BrianneKNadeau
