THREE WEEKS TO RESCUE OUR CHILDREN FROM THIS. Right outside the Yes! Organic Market, just steps from the Petworth Metro. A group of youth acting out, open drug transactions happening in plain sight, and an entire commercial corridor left to fend for itself. A 17-year-old girl was shot and killed right here—an innocent child just going to and from school, caught in the crossfire of reckless street beefs. We have seen shootings around Petworth and Georgia Avenue happen almost weekly. When we sounded the alarm and warned MPD about the open-air drug sales taking over our Metro entrances, critics in the comments actually argued: “Why bother raising it? Drug sales aren’t a violent threat.” Tell that to the family of the 17-year-old girl who didn’t make it home. Tell that to the mothers pushing strollers, the elderly seniors waiting for the bus, and the young girls walking home who have to dodge gunfire, dealers, and harassment every single afternoon. When you tolerate illegal drug distribution at transit hubs, violent crime and bullets inevitably follow. What makes this unconscionable is that this is happening right down the street from Councilmember Janeese Lewis George’s own home. Yet the Council acts like this is acceptable. They act like open street dealing and youth self-destruction are no big deal. We are losing a generation. When our kids are smoking weed all day, cognitive development slows and academic performance collapses. When consumption is normalized across households, developmental defects and learning hurdles compound in our classrooms. The consequences are already on paper: 71% of D.C. students are failing math at grade level, and chronic truancy reaches 84% in our high schools.  Janeese had no problem voting for $7.4 Billion to sports stadium subsidies, while budgeting just $8.6 Million citywide for grassroots youth after-school programs. She and the sellouts running DC government abandoned our children, and now everyday residents are paying the price in blood and fear.  We have 21 days left. by @talibkarimmuhammad
FREE parking for D.C. residents. FREE UDC tuition. FREE Metro for students & seniors. Tomorrow is Election Day. In less than 37 hours, polls close across Washington.

No more predatory ticketing bleeding our working families dry. • Free UDC Tuition: Every D.C. high school graduate earns a debt-free degree at the University of the District of Columbia. • Free Metro & Senior Dignity: 100% subsidized transit for students and elders—plus an immediate mandate to fix every broken escalator and elevator in public transit and senior residences. • Voucher-to-Marriage Stability: Pair housing vouchers with marriage navigation, life-skills training, and real pathways to family stability. • Bring Back the Trades: Direct vocational pipelines starting in middle school for high-income careers: Carpentry, Welding, Painting, HVAC, Electrical, and Mechanical trades. • Foundational Character: Restore cursive, mutual respect, and life navigation in schools to take our youth from the bottom of academic proficiency to first in the nation. 🏛️ TODAY @ 11:00 AM: Join me live at the John A.

At the Father-Daughter Football Game at my daughter’s school. I’ve been working to support children in D.C. schools for over 30 years. In three decades, not a single school has ever had a club dedicated specifically to involving fathers until now. This shouldn’t be the exception. This should be the rule. And as Mayor, that is exactly what I will establish across D.C. Public Schools. Our youth need their fathers, real vocational trades, and the D.C. Honor Code. 🗳️ What You Can Do Right Now: 1. Vote & DM Your Ballot: Write in TALIB KARIM MUHAMMAD for Mayor, snap a clear photo of your completed mail-in ballot, and send it directly to my DM. I will follow up personally to make sure your vote is protected. 2. Chip In ($1 to $2,000): Every single dollar helps fund our emergency order of 2,000 yard signs tomorrow morning. Once you contribute, you will receive an immediate invite to join our 8:00 PM strategy call tonight for Election Day volunteers! #DCFirst #DCHonorCode #FathersClubs #TalibForMayor #WriteIn by @talibkarimmuhammad
RECEIPTS OF A SELLOUT: Why Janeese Lewis George Gets an F! The media and establishment wants you to think the election is over—NOT! You have the power to rescue our youth and take back DC. Here’s why you should do something radical and write-in Talib Karim Muhammad for Mayor. Receipts of Janeese the Sellout: ❌ VOTED FOR STADIUMS: Subsidizing billionaire developers instead of investing in our communities. ❌ UNDERFUNDED YOUTH: Supported budgets that provided pennies on the dollar for after-school programs and vital fatherhood initiatives. ❌ PROTECTING PAY-TO-PLAY: Overseeing a system that rewards insiders while local businesses get shut out. ❌ FAILING OUR SCHOOLS: Continuing to fund a broken status quo. Our schools have Fs in math literacy, Fs in reading, and Fs in attendance. They refuse to teach our youth basic cursive, let alone how to build a career in plumbing, electrical work, or construction. Janeese Lewis George gets an F. We cannot afford more of the same. You have the power in your hands right now. Don’t wait for the establishment to fix what they broke. 🗳️ WRITE IN: TALIB KARIM MUHAMMAD It’s time for a DC First agenda that demands moral excellence, real vocational training, and government accountability. 📸 PROTECT YOUR VOTE: Fill out your mail-in ballot today, write in TALIB KARIM MUHAMMAD, and TAKE A PICTURE before you mail it. Text it to 202-256-0499 so we can hold the Board of Elections accountable and ensure your vote isn’t stolen... again. Share this video. Tag a D.C. resident who is ready for real change. #DCFirst #WriteInTalib #MuhammadForMayor #WashingtonDC #DCPolitics by @talibkarimmuhammad
Janeese voted to pour hundreds of millions into DC schools that won’t teach our youth how to sign a check in cursive—let alone how to build a house, fix an engine, or learn a trade. When our classrooms abandon vocational trades, the streets fill the void. Our youth deserve real skills, discipline, and economic dignity. On November 3, take our DC back: fill in the oval and write in Talib Karim Muhammad for Mayor. 🗳️ DM me a photo of your write-in ballot so our legal team can log and protect every vote. 🤝 DM me “VOLUNTEER” to take a 2-hour Election Day shift (official shirt & fresh meals provided). #DCPS #WashingtonDC #writeintalibkarimmuhammad #JaneeseLewisGeorge #DCElections by @talibkarimmuhammad
Three news stations filmed us at Eastern Market, steps from where a National Guardsman took a bullet breaking up a youth fight on Sunday night. While Janeese and the establishment push the very policies that stripped discipline and consequences from our streets, I looked straight into the cameras and spoke what they fear to say: OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE IN CRISIS, AND THE NATIONAL GUARD IS VITAL TO KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE. Janeese refuses to back the Guard. She refuses to confront the collapse of accountability among our youth. But while our service members put their bodies on the line to protect our streets, I am saying it directly: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 👏🏾👏🏾 Even though television crews captured it live, establishment gatekeepers are too intimidated to even post the footage on their websites. That means YOU are our media today. If you want real leadership instead of Janeese's machine politics, do these 3 things right now: 1. Drop a 👏🏾 in the comments to show our service members they have our community's respect! 2. Share this to your story to break through the establishment blackout. 3. Hit the LINK IN BIO to chip in $25, $50, or $100 to fund our poll observers and ground organizers. We are less than two weeks away from making history. Fill in the oval. Write in TALIB KARIM MUHAMMAD on November 3! ✍🏾🗳️ 📲 Volunteer & Voter Hotline: Text 202-256-0499 🔗 Chip in & join our movement via link in bio. #TalibForMayor #DCPolitics #WashingtonDC #WriteInTalib #NationalGuard by @talibkarimmuhammad
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! 👏🏾 My opponent and her allies on the Council refuse to confront the truth: the District has a profound crisis with our youth. For generations, too many have grown up with few fathers in the home and dwindling discipline in the classroom. Then COVID arrived, and all remaining standards went out the window. Youth realized they could wear masks and get away with carjackings, armed robberies, and flash-mobbing storefronts with zero accountability. A destructive street culture took over, encouraged by radical cheerleaders like Free DC who stand on corners filming law enforcement officers trying to intimidate them into hesitation. Police are now afraid to do their jobs out of fear of becoming the next national headline. And our children are left to live out Grand Theft Auto in real life across our neighborhoods. I do not fear our youth, and I will never surrender our neighborhoods. We need the National Guard to help secure our communities until we can get elected and implement our ideas to rescue our youth by offering them discipline, mentors, and career training. 1. EMERGENCY RALLY & WRITE-IN ACTION (TOMORROW AT 11:00 AM) When: Tuesday, October 20, at 11:00 AM Sharp Where: Eastern Market Metro Plaza (Capitol Hill) What to Bring: BRING YOUR MAIL-IN BALLOT! Bring your official mail-in ballot straight to Eastern Market tomorrow morning. We will demonstrate on-site exactly how to fill in the oval, write in Talib Karim Muhammad, and cast it securely into an official DCBOE drop box.#talibformayor #washingtondc #dcpolitics by @talibkarimmuhammad
Family. Brothers and sisters. Anyone tired of the sellouts that run DC: we have 15 days to make history. Enough complaining. You have the power right now—USE IT. ✊🏾 They had millions in developer, sports team owners, and Israel first cash. Over the weekend, I had almost zero dollars and one sign left. And we still went 3-0 against Janeese and her political machine this weekend. 💙❤️ When my opponent chickened out of our mayoral debate and no-showed the Howard Law Gala, they thought they could hide from accountability. So on Homecoming Game Day, we brought the fight straight to Georgia Avenue and the Yard. Outside Sankofa, we proved who the real Agent of Change is. Dean Charles Hamilton Houston taught us that a lawyer is either a social engineer or a parasite on society. Tonight at 9:00 PM EST, we launch our 15-day Get Out The Vote (GOTV) sweep to elect D.C.’s first Independent Mayor. This briefing is restricted to our active ground team. To unlock your private invite and Zoom link for tonight’s 9 PM call: TAP THE LINK IN BIO to chip in $10, $25, or $50 to fund our emergency write-in palm cards. As soon as your receipt clears, we will text/email your private calendar invite and meeting link. HOW TO CAST YOUR VOTE RIGHT NOW: Mail ballots have landed in mailboxes across all 8 Wards. 1. Locate the contest for Mayor of the District of Columbia. 2. Bubble in the Write-In oval. 3. Clearly print: TALIB KARIM MUHAMMAD. 4. Snap a photo of your completed ballot and text it directly to my personal cell: 202-256-0499. Drop a 💙❤️ in the comments if you’re ready to take our city back. #HowardHomecoming #RealHU #DCFirst #writeinTalibKarimMuhammad #MarionBarry by @talibkarimmuhammad
What did Talib Karim Muhammad learn at the U.S. Air Force Academy? Watch what happens at the end of this clip. Both the Air Force Academy and Howard University won football games this past weekend. What’s the lesson? Lt. Col. (USAF-Ret.) Emille Bryant, breaks it down to three things: STRUCTURE, EXPECTATIONS, AND TOUGH LOVE. Athletes and cadets understand a truth the sellouts on the D.C. Council like my opponent refuse to admit: structure doesn’t restrict our young people—it elevates them. When you give a young man high expectations, military-style discipline, and technical skills, you strip away the lie that the corners are his only option. Look at the cost of leaving our youth without structure: Brady Flowers II—an 18-year-old Jackson-Reed senior and star athlete—was gunned down in a CVS parking lot just two football fields from his school doors. Daniyah Ford—a 17-year-old Coolidge student-athlete—was murdered this weekend right at the Petworth Metro station. Where is my opponent and her sellout colleagues on the D.C. Council? They’re busy approving hundreds of millions for stadium subsidies and trying to give the Mayor a $40,000 pay raise on her way out the door! We must replace street culture that’s failing our youth with military-style discipline, vocational training, and real mentorship. EMERGENCY PUBLIC SAFETY RALLY & PRESS CONFERENCE WHERE: Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro Station Plaza (4170 Georgia Ave NW) WHEN: TODAY (Wednesday, Oct 7) @ 4:00 PM EDT CALL TO ACTION: I am issuing a direct invitation to all D.C. youth, student-athletes, parents, and coaches. Stand with us to demand an immediate end to open-air drug markets and claim FREE SPONSORED PASSES for our upcoming @STEMforUs AI Ag-Tech Hackathon! COMMENT BELOW: Should D.C. introduce military-style academies and technical training tracks to save our youth? Drop your thoughts below. SHARE THIS REEL to your story and TAG 3 D.C. parents, coaches, or educators who need to be at Petworth Metro at 4:00 PM! #WriteInMuhammad #DCYouth #PetworthMetro #usafa #HowardUniversity by @talibkarimmuhammad
