We have a crisis here in the District: domestic-violence related incidents are increasing in our communities, and we have to take action now to better protect our residents.

Today, I am introducing a new bill to support survivors of domestic violence in DC that will:
✅ reduce violence
✅ increase survivor support
✅ protect victim privacy

My bill called the “Supporting Survivors of Domestic Violence and Abuse Amendment Act” is a critical tool to help reverse the dangerous trend and support survivors.

Thank you to @ChmnMendelson, @CMCharlesAllen, @CMCHenderson, @CMFrumin, @tweetelissa, @CMNadeauOffice, @CMZParker5, and @AnitaBondsDC for co-introducing this important bill.

Find out more details on the bill here 👇

Leaf collection for Zone 2B begins November 16th - in Ward 2 if you are between 13th Street NW & 20th Street NW it's time to rake!

🍁 Section B, your first leaf collection pass is coming up! While DPW crews continue collecting leaves across the District, Section B residents should start preparing for their scheduled collection beginning November 16. Help our crews get the job done by having loose leaves raked to the curbside or into your tree box by Sunday, November 15.

🌧If weather delays collection, DPW will return as soon as possible. Please wait until crews have been out of your section for 7 days before submitting a 311 request. Need to confirm your collection section or schedule? Visit dpw.dc.gov/leaf for details and updates.

I am heartbroken that a person was stabbed and killed in a restroom at the West End Library. Our libraries and all public spaces should be safe for everyone to enjoy — this violence is unacceptable. MPD's investigation is ongoing.

In addition to calling on the newly elected Democratic governors to remove their National Guard troops from DC, I am calling on Democrats in Congress to conduct more rigorous oversight of the increased federal presence in our communities once they take over the majority in January.

Congress must implement protections to make sure our residents feel safe including banning face coverings and requiring identifying badges and body-worn cameras. Our local police department provides this transparency, and the federal government must do its part, too.

Having armed National Guard troops and increased federal law enforcement in DC continues to cause fear and intimidation in our communities – and it must stop.

Following Tuesday’s elections, I am incredibly hopeful that we now have the partners we need at the state and congressional levels to make real change happen – and happen soon.

I am calling on the newly elected Democratic governors in Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, and Texas to remove their National Guard troops from the District immediately once they take office.
