Beautiful day at the cargo bike test ride at JFK Park along Memorial Drive! Great opportunity to celebrate community & people-centered streets and talk about improving transportation in Cambridge

The Cambridge Bicycle Safety organization just endorsed two of our LCPN members for Cambridge City Council: @votejivan.bsky.social and Patty Nolan! These candidates are committed to completing the Cambridge bike network, a project that will help lower transport emissions! 🚲 #climatepolicy #cities

Had fun canvassing for @votejivan.bsky.social in Cambridge this evening

One of the side effects of working at City Hall is that I get to see a lot of marriage ceremonies in progress. But today was the first City Hall marriage I’ve seen that included a flash bomb group dance!

Thanks to everyone who came out to canvass this weekend! We knocked almost 1,000 doors. And we had great conversations about creating safer streets, expanding after school programs, strengthening tenant protections, ending exclusionary zoning, and building social housing

Beautiful weekend to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cambridge Children’s Center with a block party in Cambridgeport! It’s a great example of the kind of high quality early childhood program we need to support and help make sure is affordable for all families in Cambridge!

Thanks to Aman for inviting me to join @bos_cafe_bikers for the ride from Lechmere to Huron Village this morning! Group bike rides to local cafes are a great way to build community and support small businesses. You can follow them on Instagram and join the next group ride

You know Bluesky is taking off when even the safer street haters have started using it

Loved Cambridge Carnival this Sunday afternoon on Sidney St. Stop by to celebrate Caribbean culture, food and dance!

Blocking a historic preservation project in Harvard Square because it’d add housing & affordable homes in the back makes no sense.  Glad to join my City Council colleagues in calling attention to this in @globeopinion.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/o...

I’ve lost part of 2 teeth in a crash in Cambridge. And I was glad to be lead sponsor of the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance— It’s added protected bike lanes to Hampshire & Brattle Streets, Mass Ave & more. So I’m proud to be endorsed by @cambbikesafety.bsky.social as a bike champion!

Bike racks were packed for the Community Fair at the Peabody School! Summer weather in September for block parties on Jackson St in North Cambridge and Worcester Street in the Port. And great food & energy at the Cambridge for Palestine fundraiser at the Cambridge Community Center in Riverside

Last year, @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social and @votejivan.bsky.social passed home rule petitions in Somerville & Cambridge and, collaborating with other municipal & statewide electeds, pushed our legislature and governor to ban forced brokers’ fees-Now tthey’re working to lift the ban on rent control.

Step 1: Select @votejivan.bsky.social number 1 for city council.

A tale of 2 move-in weekends: 2023 ➡️ 2025 Glad we made forced brokers fees a thing of the past!

Labor creates all value—yours, mine and ours. Great to celebrate the labor movement on Labor Day with @bostondsa.org and meet some up with union champions like @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

Great to stop by the Food for Free School Market at the MLK School on Putnam Ave! Their School Markets get fresh food to hundreds of Cambridge families, and they have also been partnering with The Spot to distribute children’s clothing

Joined teachers & staff from Cambridge Public Schools at convocation for the 2025-26 school year! We also got to welcome the new leadership & president of CEA! Chris Montero spoke about the need to stand up for all students and staff members, including from the threats of the federal administration

Excited about this endorsement and always proud to stand with @uawregion9a.bsky.social and its members—from grad student workers, to legal aid attorneys, to manufacturing workers. Solidarity!

Excited to canvass for @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social after the @bostondsa.org General Meeting tomorrow! I’ve organized with Willie since his 1st campaign. From ending forced brokers’ fees to curtailing surveillance tech, he’s been a partner. And he’ll be a great Somerville Mayor. Prelim is 9/16!

We have our first batch of 2025 campaign signs! They’re beautiful, sturdy, and union-printed in Massachusetts. You can sign-up to request a sign below! We’ll let you know when we’re delivering them in the coming days docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/...

As a union member and City Councillor fighting to make Cambridge affordable for working people, I’m excited to be endorsed by @gblcboston.bsky.social! From custodians to grad workers to carpenters, medical residents, & baristas, I’ve been proud to stand with workers on picket lines & in City Hall

Proud to lead this work to defend residents from the illegal actions of the Trump administration. “Cambridge is not going to back down or make a deal with the Trump administration and weaken our own protections,” Sobrinho-Wheeler said. “In fact, we’re going to bolster them.”

As the son of an immigrant representing a city with many 1st and 2nd generation Americans, I'm excited to be endorsed by New American Leaders Action Fund. And proud to be in this cohort of candidates and electeds like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Today is the day! After months and years of advocacy, the ban on forced brokers fees in Cambridge and the rest of MA goes into effect today

Next Tuesday, the rent control bill has a hearing! Rally: 11:30 am outside the State House Hearing: 1 pm in Gardner Auditorium RSVP: bit.ly/ma-rentcontrol

Joined Cambridge residents at City Hall yesterday to protest recent ICE abductions in Central Square. Federal actions like this are why I’ve been pushing to strengthen our Welcoming Community Ordinance protections. Looking forward to ordaining those amendments at our Council meeting on 8/4

Perfect weather for the inaugural Cambridge Porchfest! A great day for music, community building, and people-centered streets

Beautiful day for the summer party at Fresh Pond apartments on Rindge Ave! I even got a little spider plant from @cambridgemof.bsky.social

BIG NEWS! Cambridge's inaugural Porchfest is happening THIS WEEKEND! Two days of free music across Cambridgeport (July 19) and Central Square (July 20) from noon-6 p.m. Get ready for something special! 🏠✨ Complete schedule and lineup is available at www.cambridgema.gov/arts/Program...

Politics can be rough but today two different people in Cambridge chased me down the sidewalk and offered to sign my nomination papers! Their partner signed at the door and must’ve told them I was still nearby. There’s a lot of great people out there

It’s official — Forced broker fees are going to be a thing of the past in Massachusetts!

See you this evening!

Let’s go Cambridge! I’m finding hope in these moments in the amazing people still actively choosing government service and fighting for our future! Cheering for you from PVD Jivan!!

I picked up nomination papers this morning for re-election as a Cambridge City Councillor! If you’re a Cambridge voter, you can stop by my campaign launch on Wednesday evening at 730 Tavern to sign to help me get on the ballot

Hope you can join me this Wednesday, July 2 at 730 Tavern in Central Square for our re-election launch! I’m looking forward to talking about what we’ve accomplished this term and what’s next. Come by to see friends, meet new ones, and help create a city for all secure.actblue.com/donate/jsw20...

Beautiful day to celebrate the opening of new permanent supportive housing in Cambridge. 62 new affordable homes for residents transitioning out of homelessness—created under our Affordable Housing Overlay zoning

This is a type of opposition that anyone advocating for affordable housing, safer streets or better transit has run into

Last week the SEIU CA president David Huerta—the leader of one of the state's largest unions—was arrested for protesting an ICE raid. Today I joined hundreds of residents & union members to demand his release—and the end of federal attacks on workers, immigrants, and free speech

“The federal government’s unlawful targeting of our immigrant residents makes our communities less safe. The people of Cambridge stand with our immigrant neighbors... None of us are safe unless we all are,” said Cambridge City Councilor Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler. pressley.house.gov/2025/06/02/v...

What happens when you haul a whole community activist brass band along on your #BikeBus? Fun! HONK Bus III is happening Friday June 20! Musicians, check the gigomatic! #CambMa Cargo bike owners & other lovely people, we could use help — forms.gle/4547MdZ5tXE8...

Some very avant-garde acts at Somerville porchfest

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

Ice Agents in Worcester, MA RIGHT NOW attempting to take 2 women and a baby. City Council Member @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social attempting to help her. Please share far and wide ASAP!

Great speaking about local government with the scouts program at the Fo Guang Buddhist Temple in Cambridge and attending the bike month kick-off at Aeronaut over the past few days!

Cambridge passed our home rule petition to end forced brokers fees on Monday! If a property owner hires a broker they should pay them — not the renter. This is the year to end mandatory broker’s fees www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/07/m...

I love Cambridge students' exhibits on how to make a great city that are on display at City Hall. From housing to hospitals to museums to dog parks. Don't think we can do the free McDonald's though, sorry

At our City Council meeting on Monday, I'm excited to be sponsoring policy orders on civilian traffic flaggers and bike pod storage. Civilian traffic flaggers are common elsewhere but relatively rare in MA. They could save Cambridge money and reduce the risk of escalation in routine traffic stops

Feeling like summer today for the Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee block party and the Cambridge Public Schools’ Math Playground!
