The federal government has treated the Anacostia River as its dumping ground for toxic waste and chemicals. We are fighting to hold it accountable to clean the devastating pollution it has caused. ‪Brianne K Nadeau‬ ‪@brianneknadeau.bsky.social‬ · 1d FYI: please hold your recycling for next week!

Ward 1 Update: Finally, we can do something about cars with fake tags driving (and parking) dangerously with impunity.

The center is in trouble and unfortunately this administration hasn’t made it a priority, even after numerous dangerous incidents and people waiting for many minutes when calling 911. This visit will help guide the oversight I do to demand answers and put us on a path forward to fixing the systemic issues.
