As far as I can tell, I'm the first Filipino-American to serve in elected office in the history of the District of Columbia. I am deeply humbled, but hyper-aware that the experience of my ancestors here necessitates that I fight for a just, liberating city. lemme explain:

There are people at work today around the Capitol. Working in retail shops and at restaurants. Staffing hotels and cleaning rooms. Mostly Black and brown, mostly residents of DC. and there is no plan in place to protect them. None.

When we want to remove one parking space for a bike lane, the whole community gets extensive opportunities for input. But when the Mayor decides to evict hundreds of unhoused people before they've received housing, unhoused folks get no real opportunity to comment.

Made it through the night. Most of Congress is on vacation while millions of eviction cases are getting processed right now, and thousands are at the mercy of the speed of cops to carry out their evictions. EXTEND THE MORATORIUM!!!

Two days ago, another individual passed away in the encampment in my single-member district. His name is Robert Stephens. Another unhoused resident found him in his tent and is deeply distraught. He called me late Wednesday night to share the news and ask for help. (1/)

Unhoused folks are people too. Meet them. Talk to them. Become friends with them. They're neither some abstract "issue," nor a group of conniving criminals, nor a drag on your property values. They are human beings.

Two Black children struck by a car on Miss. Ave. SE on their way to SCHOOL, while Jersey bumps that could be used as safe infrastructure are instead used to harm mostly Black unhoused folks @ NOMA. We have to speak the truth - this is what institutional anti-Blackness looks like.

Everyone in a tizzy about DC's criminal code revisions, but the criminal code hasn't been changed like this in decades. During that time, crime rates rose, dropped, rose again, plummeted again, etc. Maybe...other variables...other than prison sentences...determine crime rates?🤯

Absolute lies. A peaceful civil disobedience demonstration, a VIGIL, with small tea lights and prayers and chants, was violently dispersed by Capitol Police. This crackdown energy is reserved only for ppl protesting US empire, never for fascists
Right now our officers are working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting in the area of Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE. Officers are making arrests. All Members have been evacuated from the area. Please stay away from the area.

It is enraging how so many people in elected office in DC think, deep down, that homelessness exists because people made bad decisions. Homelessness is not a choice one makes. It is a policy and market failure. It's an indication that society believes the poor should suffer.

It's never been about ending homelessness - it's been about sweeping away the homelessness that politically-connected folks see.
Only 12 out of 60+ residents of the L & M St encampments have been connected with housing as of the October 4 eviction deadline set by
@DMHHS_DC
.
Orange traffic barrels & caution tape ensure that nobody tries to pitch a tent in the new no-tent zone.

"In June 2021, after initially refusing to confirm whether it had used tear gas munitions, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) admitted in court filings (in a litigation brought by protestors and the ACLU) that the MPD had used tear gas against protestors on June 1."
I’m running. Are you with me?
DC residents know how to rise to a challenge. When the pandemic upended our lives, we didn’t panic, rather we put on our masks, took care of our neighbors & persevered. When Trump attacked us with rubber bullets & tear gas..

After a marathon meeting of amendments, ANC 2A came together to resoundingly support converting the Aston into a non-congregate shelter, and push for mechanisms to make sure the community has input at every step of the way and can be great neighbors.
A victory for everyone🙏🏽
At 11:16 PM, ANC 2A has adopted a resolution to support the creation of a non-congregate shelter at Ashton Hall in Foggy Bottom.
This is great news. But the fight to make sure this moves forward is far from over.

Folks are on the street primarily because they've had traumatic experiences in shelter/transitional settings - that's such a basic piece of knowledge that someone can get by spending a few seconds asking a person at an encampment.

To not fund vouchers is to condemn unhoused residents to death on the streets - full stop. Anyone in elected office should know what they're voting for. We've lost three unhoused folks this year at E St. alone. I'm fucking angry. There's no time left for minced words.

0.125%. If my math is right, that's $3125 per year per person, or $8.50 per day per person. Would you spend $8.50 a day if it meant people on the street could be housed?
Janeese Lewis George, Brianne Nadeau, and Charles Allen will propose a tax increase tomorrow.
Lewis George tells me they will propose a .125% increase on single earners who make $250k or more, .3% on those earning $500k, .65% on $1 million, and 1% on $1.5 million +. (1/2)

But everyone should call their Councilmembers RIGHT NOW and DEMAND that we fund $66 million in permanent supportive housing vouchers to meet the need of chronically unhoused folks. Housing doesn't just end homelessness. Housing saves lives. Check out

If an encampment resident wanted a hotel stay tonight, DMHHS won't give it to them. They'll only offer it when they evict the encampment, at a specific hotel, for an unknown amount of time.
That's not Housing First. That's Housing when the government thinks it's convenient.

So many of my constituents living at E St. have asked for better access to shower facilities, washers/dryers, etc. What if we funded mobile shower/hygiene trucks for our unhoused neighbors in FY22?
