I joined DC residents last night as crews started removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. And today, it is gone!! Trump is no king, and his Kennedy Center takeover has led to reduced businesses and artists pulling out. This is a great first step in restoring a historic, beloved local landmark. #FreeDC

Donald Trump is NO KING and I'm calling on all candidates and elected officials to stand together following his threat to take federal control of DC if @Janeese4DC becomes mayor. President Trump should mind his business and leave DC alone, he is neither an elected leader of this city nor a voter here. We have to fight back against this regime. We have to make sure that the District stays in the hands of its residents, and the only way to protect ourselves in the future is to become a state. Statehood helps us end our local National Guard occupation, restricts ICE’s ability to rip our families apart, and shields our laws and budget from outside interests. Statehood is something I’ll never stop fighting for until it’s reality!

Our campaign strategy was simple: get the cutest support in DC. Looks like it worked! 🐕‍🦺🐈 Loving your submissions to our #Animals4Oye contest, our most loyal supporters yet! I’m also proud to have the endorsement of DC Voters for Animals @DCV4A. Don’t forget to support Initiative 86, banning the sale/production of foie gras in DC. Our friends at Pro-Animal DC are working tirelessly to get the signatures needed to put this on the Nov. ballot. Check out their page to learn how to add your signature and volunteer at the polls to make this happen! proanimaldc.org

No campaign signs. No speeches. Just a couple of tiny Oyes enjoying a day at the park. Have you spotted one yet? #Oye4DC

It was great to see such a strong turnout in Ward 5 today at the Dew Drop Inn. From the amazing vegan pizza and music by DJ Candy Crush to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new neighbors, it was a fantastic day of community and connection. #Oye4DC #Community

I was proud to join immigrants and first-generation Washingtonians to discuss what makes DC home. The District is stronger because of the people and communities who call it home. As your Councilmember, I’ll fight to keep DC affordable, safe, and welcoming for everyone. #Oye4DC
