From yesterday’s goodbye party for the Purple Patch & Nido streatery. 💜 Streateries foster community, increase accessibility, and bring in revenue for small businesses. I hope DDOT & DOB reconsider, but either way I’m ready to work with our new mayor to bring streateries back.
Al carecer de estatus de estado, DC se lleva la peor parte de este régimen autoritario. 250 años después, la lucha por la liberación continúa.
Without statehood, DC bears the brunt of this authoritarian regime. 250 years later, the fight for liberation continues.
Thank you, Ward 1. From the beginning, this campaign has been about building something bigger - to not just improve people's lives, but to give working people more power in a system so stacked against us. It's an honor to be your Democratic nominee for Councilmember.

Hear the story of the Buena Vista Building in Park View, where tenants successfully organized and used TOPA to take control of their building after living in inhumane conditions. As Councilmember, I will fight to maintain and expand tenant protections including TOPA.
¡Estoy encantada de contar con el respaldo de @genzforchange.org! Los jóvenes se enfrentan a una crisis del coste de la vida, a la crisis climática y al autoritarismo creciente. Pero juntos podemos luchar por un futuro en el que todos tengamos lo necesario para vivir y prosperar.
I’m thrilled to be endorsed by @genzforchange.org! Younger generations are facing down a cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and growing authoritarianism. But together, we can fight for a better future where we all have what we need to live and thrive.
Mohammed has been a Ward 1 resident for over 40 years and is a fixture of Malcolm X Park. He met Aparna at a Meet & Greet in the fall, and since then has been a staunch supporter of hers in the Ward 1 DC Council race.
Dante is a Columbia Heights resident who has known Aparna for years. He is supporting Aparna in the Ward 1 race because she shows up for working people in the ward and will always stand with Black and Latino communities, and everyone fighting for justice.
