We had a great time at the @SmithsonianACM this weekend, hearing remarks from Congresswoman @EleanorNorton, Akiima Price, & Brenda Richardson, learning about women & environmental justice in DC, and reflecting on what activism means to us!

Our favorite climate bill is back 🤩 @RepCarbajal just announced he will reintroduce the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act this week! The bill charges corporate polluters a fee for their carbon pollution & gives Americans a #CarbonCashback. citizensclimatelobby.org/blo…
Carbon pricing bill would supercharge effect of IRA subsidies, cut carbon pollution

As we brace for Tropical Storm #Ophelia the Northeast Boundary Tunnel stands ready to help reduce overflows to the Anacostia River and mitigate neighborhood flooding. It can hold up to 90M gallons of stormwater and sewage.

Want to feel powerful in climate action? Reshape our gov priorities! "In 2019, 66 percent said they could personally make a difference, a number that has fallen to 52 percent this year, with the sharpest declines among Republicans and independents." washingtonpost.com/climate-s…

You’re doing it wrong: Recycling and other myths about tackling climate change

Most Americans think their actions can help fight climate change, but they’re not always right on which are the most effective, according to a Post/UMD poll.

I am following up on yesterday’s devastating floods to question various agencies. We must now contend with more severe weather due to climate change, but that doesn’t excuse our city from taking meaningful steps to keep residents safe. I sent the following letter to DC Water:

Congratulations to our volunteer @MaxBroad, who published this op-ed on DC's recent air quality issues, climate change, and the need for #ClimateActionNow! Check out the article in @streetsensedc! streetsensemedia.org/article…

Smoky skies show that climate action is social justice

During poor air quality events, not everyone can stay inside. Our neighbors who are unhoused are more exposed to the smoky skies than others.

It's great to see funding for flood control and for cleaning up local waterways in this bill! Thank you @EleanorNorton for all of your hard work getting these funds for the District. We can always count on you to stand up for DC residents and help protect our environment!

Although many anti-home-rule amendments were included in the text of the DC appropriations bill released today, I will do everything in my power to defeat them. The text included many DC victories, including $40m for DCTAG, a program created by a bill I authored.
