Making MetroBus FREE in DC and expanding service is the right choice for our working families, seniors, students, small businesses, traffic safety, our health, our future and our planet!
I’m a proud co-introducer of #MetroForDC. This is a huge step to make that vision a reality!
Quote Tweet
Wow: DC plans to make all buses operating within the District FREE to all riders, starting in summer 2023. We'll be the first major U.S. city to have free bus service. Also adding overnight service for 12 bus lines and giving all DC residents a $100 monthly subsidy for bus/metro.

DC has a more direct and more aggressive role in preventing displacement. In the same way we maintain public roads and operate public schools, we must also recognize that housing is too essential to leave solely to the discretion of the private market.

Amazon workers are exposing the human cost behind the Black Friday deals.
34,000 Amazon workers were seriously injured on the job last year — at about twice the rate of other warehouses.
The company’s ruthless cost-cutting puts its workers in serious danger.

We draw a straight line to this shooting from the false & fascist rhetoric of politicians all around this country who use queer and trans people as political tools to stoke fear and violence in our communities. There have been over 300 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in the US in 2022.
