🚨 ERIC’S LAW IS OFFICIALLY LAW! 🦋

This week we celebrate a powerful step toward making unseen disabilities seen in the District of Columbia.

I’m incredibly proud that the Eric’s Law resolution I brought before the @dcsboe was unanimously passed in May, helping lay the groundwork for this legislation.

Thank you to Councilmembers @cmzparker5 and @cmlewisgeorgew4 for introducing Eric’s Law and to Councilmember @cmcharlesallen for being a champion as this legislation moved through committee and toward final passage.

And most importantly, thank you @eric_grantham for your vision 🙏🏾

This is what advocacy looks like: listening to families, bringing their experiences to the table, building support, and turning an idea into lasting policy.

Eric’s Law will help make sure that people with hidden and non-apparent disabilities have a way to communicate their needs and receive understanding when they need it most.

One more step toward a DC where we see people for who they are and make space for everyone.

Eric’s Law is official! 🦋

So y’all know I love a good field trip and this one to the @eascarpenters Training Facility did NOT disappoint. 🦺🔨

We got into the nuts and bolts of carpentry careers, apprenticeship pathways, and the life changing skills our students need to build a future and literally build projects like RFK.

Career pathways aren’t just about getting a job. They’re about building skills, confidence, and economic opportunity.

Let’s make sure DC students can see themselves in every pathway and have a real path to get there. 🛠️

Great way to spend a Ward 7 day—celebrating community, health and our seniors!

It was a pleasure spending time with Rev. Karen Curry and Rev. Dr. Kendrick Curry at Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church for the launch of Village on the Avenue and Diabetes Awareness Day—and joining Ward 7 @cmwendellfelder in celebrating this important community effort.

From health screenings and diabetes education to fitness, technology and community resources, the day was about connecting seniors and families with the tools they need to live well, stay connected and age well together.

Congratulations to the Currys, Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church and everyone who helped bring this vision to life. A great day in Ward 7! 💙🙌🏾

A diploma should prepare you for LIFE, not just graduation day. At our September meeting, we took a big step toward making that a reality. 🎓

I’m especially proud that our new high school graduation requirements recognize the things students need to thrive after high school, including:

💰 Financial literacy — because every young person should understand money before they enter adulthood.

🛠️ Career & Technical Education — recognizing the value of what we used to call vocational education and expanding pathways to good careers.

🌎 Language access — making sure multilingual students have opportunities to build on the languages they already know.

🤝🏾 Community service — including opportunities for students to serve their communities while getting paid for their work.

This is about giving students more pathways, more choices, and more ways to demonstrate what they know and can do.

I’m proud of this vote and grateful to have chaired the Taskforce alongside @henderson4ward5 including @osse.dc, the students, educators, families, advocates, employers, labor leaders, and colleagues who helped push this work forward.

DC students deserve a diploma that prepares them for whatever comes next. 💛

A peek at what investing in our kids looks like. 🏈📚❤️

Yesterday in #Ward7, we celebrated the launch of the @commanders Youth Academy Junior Academy Pilot @kippdcschools in Capitol View with @cityschoolscollaborative bringing together academics, athletics, mentorship, and opportunity for our young people.

And the energy was EVERYTHING! From students running plays on their newly refurbished field to painting and connecting with Commanders rookies, the day was about more than football. It was about making sure our children have access to experiences, relationships, and resources that help them see what’s possible.

As a proud Ward 7 representative, I’m excited to see this investment in our community — and especially excited about what it can mean as this pilot grows and reaches even more DC students.

When we invest in our children, we invest in the future of our entire city. 💫

Thank you to the Washington Commanders Foundation, KIPP DC, the Harris family, the players, educators, and everyone who helped bring this vision to life.

Ward 7 is ready. Our kids are ready. #RaiseHail

Our children deserve better. Period. 🚧

This is not the first time #Ward7 students have been asked to accept less than what they deserve. It is not the first time our communities have had to push, question, advocate, and demand that the District deliver on its promises.

But we need to make it the last time.

School started August 24th. Our children should have walked into a school that was safe, finished, clean, and ready to welcome them. Construction should not still be happening around students, educators, and families after the first week of school.

I will continue to ask the hard questions and hold our agencies accountable because this is bigger than one building. All of our children deserve safe, high-quality schools. Ward 7 deserves the best.

We should not have to fight for the basics. We should not have to accept less.

Our kids deserve better. We owe it to them to make sure they get it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. This is not good enough for our kids or any kids.

Spotted 👀 Interim Chancellor Kim Jackson joined the Eastern Community Walk in Ward 7 yesterday, taking time to connect with neighbors, families, and community leaders. 💛🩵

The best solutions begin by listening, and it’s always encouraging to see district leadership walking alongside the community. Every conversation matters.

At its heart, Embeleko is about belonging saying: “You are here, you are one of us, and we recognize and celebrate your place within this family and community.”
