Statement on the attack against the Embassy of Cuba on 16th Street NW

On Sunday evening, an individual was captured on video throwing what appeared to be homemade incendiary devices at the Embassy of Cuba on 16th Street NW. The incident is being investigated as an arson by federal law enforcement.

I of course condemn this incident and any incident of violence or terrorism against any resident, organization, institution, or property. In D.C. we cherish our freedom of speech and the ability to express our opinions and dissent peaceably. Terrorism has no place here.

Today we got to celebrate the opening of the Park Morton apartments and that 15 former residents—so far—have moved back into their neighborhood. Many people worked thru a lot of challenges to get us here.
After more than a year of research, conversations with local distributers and retailers as well as residents, advocates, and students, followed by planning and drafting, the Council took its first formal action this week on DC’s bottle bill. I introduced this major environmental legislation to drastically reduce litter in our streets, parks, and rivers by placing a refundable 10-cent deposit on beverage containers sold in the District.
The bill will receive a hearing on October 1 at 9:30 am in the Committee on Business and Economic Development. Sign up to testify and submit testimony.
