Today, @MayorBowser gathered school and city leaders to respond to the urgency of gun violence and its impact on our young people. I'm thankful to our principals for elevating the needs of our students and their school communities, and I'm encouraged by the next steps identified.

Today, I introduced the E-BIKE Act to reduce cost-barriers that prevent residents from purchasing an electric bike. This is an idea I heard from residents on our Ward 2 bike ride. Reductions in traffic congestion & pollution mean we all benefit from getting residents onto bikes.

Vaccinations are the best way to protect against preventable diseases. Remember, students must provide proof of immunization in accordance with DC school health requirements, or they will not be permitted to attend school. Follow this 🧵 important info!
