To the Friends and Family of Jim McGrath,

I stand with Safeway workers and UFCW400 in their negotiations with management. Grocery stores - and the workers that make them possible - are the foundation of our communities. I sent this letter to Safeway to show my support.

WASHINGTON – Just days before the DC Council is set to hold a hearing on the DC Housing Authority (DCHA) Transformation plan, Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau introduced the “Public Housing Preservation and Tenant Protection Amendment Act of 2020.”

On November 19th, 2019, DC Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau held a telephone town hall. On it, we discussed public safety, the Georgia Avenue Equitable Development Project, lead pipe replacement, and more. Listen to the recording below, and please don't hesitate to reach out in the future by going to the 'Contact' page.

It’s been a difficult year in the District of Columbia when it comes to violence in our communities. As of October 2019, homicides in the past year were up District-wide from 126 to 136 and in Ward 1 from 9 to 14. Thoughts and prayers are nice, but concrete action is what we all need. Creating a safer place for all of our residents requires coordinated efforts between the Council, the Mayor, and all of our agencies with a presence in the community. For my part, I want to keep you updated on what the Council is doing in response.
