Just filled out the form for the E-Bike Incentive Program, and it took me all 10 mins. Encourage everyone to do the same! This is a great program with a simple qualification criteria. @charlesallen @CMCharlesAllen @DDOTDC ddot.dc.gov/ebikes
Today, joined by more than 50 fellow Commissioners, I sent a letter calling on the @councilofdc to reject the #InitiativeAmendmentAct as an attack on democracy… in a town that enjoys too little democracy as it is. Write to your councilmember today. 🗣️ bit.ly/ANC-IAA-letter
ANC 4D last night passed my resolution endorsing the Clean Hands Economic Expansion and Revitalization Amendment Act of 2023 (B25-0619) and urging @CM_McDuffie to hold a hearing on this bill to allow working-class people, especially immigrants, to get their occupational license
"D.C. residents, more than anyone, understand this, right?" says Abel Amene, who was born in Ethiopia and recently became the first non-citizen elected into public office in D.C as the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for 4D02. bit.ly/48UUtSx
CM White hit the nail on the head in the first sentence: “Downtown D.C. will never again be what it was pre-pandemic. That’s not a bad thing, but it requires our plans for the future to be visionary rather than attempting to go back in time.”

I really hope that a new goalpost from @dcpl isn’t that the District shouldn’t acquire land until there’s funding locked in for design, construction, and operations? We have $5 million budgeted in FY24 for site acquisition for a new library on Kennedy St. & @DMPEDDC must use it!

DC has a cold weather emergency through Thursday! ❄️ Stay inside when possible 🧣 Wear warm layers outside 🐕 For animal emergencies, call 202-723-5730 🏠 For a person in need of shelter, call 202-399-7093 🚨 Only call 911 for crimes, medical emergencies, or fire, smoke, or gas
@AllisonPapson @MayorBowser @RamirezReports @wallernyc @fox5dc 1️⃣ MPD can still arrest a person for *stealing the goods* 2️⃣ MPD can still arrest a person for *selling stolen goods* 3️⃣ DLCP can still issue civil penalties to unlicensed vendors There is plenty that the Mayor can do, but it would mean taking action instead of shifting blame.
DC just reopened applications for emergency rental assistance. 💻 Apply at erap.dhs.dc.gov 📱 Call 202-507-6666 for help ❓ Questions to [email protected] The portal will close again after 3,500 new applications. Please tell neighbors who need help to apply this week.
Some news: Chairman Mendelson introduced a bill that would allow the Council to sue Mayor Bowser (or join a lawsuit) in order to get her to enforce Give SNAP a Raise Act. The Council will vote on it next Tuesday. Background: dcist.com/story/23/12/26…
.@CMRobertWhiteDC, this seems like an avoidable issue that any reasonable person could have easily predicted.

Abel Amene, an Ethiopian immigrant, fought for DC’s noncitizens to get to vote in local elections. Now, he’s an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/… 3 noncitizens have registered to vote. There’s a lawsuit & don’t think any of the laws survived a challenge?
Longtime D.C. resident and Ethiopian immigrant Abel Amene was sworn in as an ANC in Ward 4 last week, making him the city’s first noncitizen elected official thanks to a new law allowing such individuals to vote and run in local elections. buff.ly/3uG609g
Despite a bunch of fearmongering from Congressional Republicans (and others) DC’s noncitizen voting law is taking effect. @abel_amene could soon be the city’s first noncitizen elected official: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/640297…

Today, joined by more than 50 fellow Commissioners, I sent a letter calling on the @councilofdc to reject the #InitiativeAmendmentAct as an attack on democracy… in a town that enjoys too little democracy as it is. Write to your councilmember today. 🗣️ bit.ly/ANC-IAA-letter
In 2020, DC Council took away the police union's right to block officers from being fired after they commit crimes like domestic violence and drunk driving. The union tried to reverse this for years with lawsuits, attack ads and MAGA Congressmen. They have failed at every turn.
DC crime - Hill/5. DC Police Union Chairman Greg Pemberton testifies DC’s $25,000 bonus is doing little to attract new recruits, saying the reason is, “The [DC] Council does not like police officers.”
Thank you Anthony David, Rachel Clark, @abel_amene, @VJKapur, @MarkforANC5F04, Rachel Clark, Katie O’Donnell, Janet Phoenix, Naomi Cohen-Shields, Annika Larson & more who testified on behalf of the Environmental Justice Amendment Act of 2023 during today’s DC committee meeting!
I oppose the bill to limit DC ballot initiatives. You can make up a cost for nearly any initiative — and exaggerated costs are used to block change all the time. DC residents already have a limited voice on the federal level. We need to protect our local democratic rights.
This Friday, a @councilofdc committee will consider the Initiative Amendment Act, which would severely constrain citizens' ability to propose ballot initiatives. This is an anti-democratic and cynical bill. The Council should not take away direct #democracy. How to oppose it: 1/3

Seconding this — his testimony at the DPW oversight hearing was great, especially since he did a visual presentation of the issues in his neighborhood.
