Happy Juneteenth
Happy Juneteenth! It wasn’t until 1865 that enforcement of the emancipation proclamation was enforced in Texas freeing all enslaved people. Today we are reminded that we are not free until we are ALL free.

Although we are no longer fighting for freedom from chattel slavery, we are fighting for freedom from the structural racism and institutional bias that lead to severe inequities in healthcare, housing, education, and economics within the black community.

Happy Father's Day
To all the dads across Ward 5 and everywhere, Happy Father’s Day! I hope you have the chance to celebrate a father in your life.  To be a father is a special blessing and I hope all  fathers and those who love them enjoy this weekend. 
Phase 2 Reopening
On Monday, June 22, 2020, Phase Two will begin allowing certain businesses to reopen and activities to resume under specified conditions outlined at coronavirus.dc.gov/phasetwo.

As we prepare to enter phase 2 lets continue to do all we can to flatten the curve by:
  • Getting tested!
  • Wearing a mask or face covering
  • Washing your hands
  • Staying home if you feel sick
