Last night was a joy. Thank you to the 200+ people who came out to celebrate Greater Greater Washington’s Sweet Sixteen! And bottomless thanks for all of the support that has kept us going for 16 years and counting.

I love that this was literally an April Fools joke 11 years ago

When a driver killed DaveS 5 years ago, I promised myself in his memory that I’d fight harder for safe streets. His death galvanized so many & we’ve worked so hard. We have to keep that groundswell going. It’s so hard, but that’s how we’ll make change happen. It *will* happen.

Yay Noah! You’re embarking on such a cool experience, and the Scripps National Spelling Bee memories will bring you joy for decades to come. Don’t skip the ice cream social! 🙂

Cyclist 1, excitedly: Wait, the whole road is closed?

Cyclist 2: Yeah, it’s been like this every time I come! I don’t know why.

Love that this is now just the way things are! Just now noticing that Rock Creek Park should take that outdated hours sign down. 24/7/365 yeahhh! 🙂

This is even more true when the coverage focuses exclusively on incidents without pulling back to focus broadly on trends, underlying causes, and solutions. The resources to cover individual shootings are lower than those needed to dig into *why* shootings might happen.

I spent much of today in external meetings sharing my excitement over Greater Greater Washington’s work and having the people I was meeting with reflect that excitement back to me and I’ll tell you what, that makes for a good day.
