Happy Juneteenth! 161 years ago on this day, news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Galveston, TX—two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. May our observance of today's holiday deepen our commitment to true liberty and justice for all.

Our children and teachers deserve safe, healthy learning environments. I joined teachers and parents at Noyes Elementary today as they demand DGS and DCPS fully resolve the raccoon infestation before summer school starts.
Happy Pride Month, DC! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Every year, we raise this flag outside the Wilson building as a symbol and a charge—DC is for everyone and love always wins. 💖
