If you build it, they will come. Glad to have introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance that has been part of this work!

🚲 The 2025 Biking in Cambridge Data Report is here, and the numbers show record biking and imaproved safety across the city. Explore the full report to dive deeper into the data and see what it means for the future of transportation in Cambridge: https://camb.ma/3ZxX8P8

Build a low-stress citywide network and more Americans will ride bikes more often.

Thanks, glad Cambridge is moving forward with prohibiting ICE from operating on City property. And thanks for flagging Chicago’s policy, which was helpful in thinking about this!

Since the snowstorm last week, we've been sharing info about sidewalk snow clearance — and a call to action for more municipal sidewalk snow removal!

"The actions we saw from the Trump administration are a violation of international law, they're also a violation of American laws," said Cambridge City Councilmember Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler. 📷 @wbztv.bsky.social

Hot take: Community-led governance isn’t scary. It’s actually two RFS alumni on the Cambridge City Council fighting like hell for affordable housing. @votejivan.bsky.social and Ayah Al-Zub are proving that governing with values is very much a thing. Your move. Run for office.

Grateful to get to serve another term on the Cambridge City Council and for the family & friends who joined to celebrate Inauguration Day today! And thankful for everyone who made who made this possible by door knocking, phonebanking, donating, postcard writing, and more. Thank you.

Some personal news: I’m not asking for your vote to be Cambridge’s next Mayor.  Here’s the problem though — no one is. It’s time we changed that. You can add your name to the petition to allow Cambridge voters to elect their Mayor and be part of the effort bit.ly/CambridgeMayor

One word: YES 🏘️ 🍼 🚌 www.cambridgeday.com/2026/01/03/c...

Terrific meeting to discuss our work on the social housing concept on the city- and state-levels. Thank you Councilor Siddiqui for chairing and to the Joint Center on Housing Studies at Harvard, the Cambridge Housing Justice Coalition, and the Cambridge Housing Authority for your presentations.

On Thursday, Starbucks baristas in 40+ cities launched an open-ended, national ULP strike. Workers are putting it all on the line and need customers and allies to back them up! Join striking baristas and community supporters building union power. RSVP now: bit.ly/4pbwwy7

Election Day was just the beginning. On Thursday, DSA electeds @votejivan.bsky.social and @votealzubi.com rallied in support of @32bjseiu.bsky.social union workers organizing for a fair contract with Harvard.

Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security workers from @32bjseiu.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract. Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump. If Harvard wants Cambridge to have its back, it needs to have the back of its workers

We did it! Thank you to everyone who made this win to keep fighting for an affordable, inclusive, and sustainable Cambridge on the City Council possible. I’m so grateful to every person who knocked doors, wrote postcards, donated, talked to friends & family, and voted

I ranked you #1 to help assure victory!

2 hours till polls close at 8pm! More great conversations with voters— The signature collection for 2026 ballot measures on rent control & state legislator stipend reform leading to great discussion about tenant protections & good governance!

Great conversations with voters at the Morse and Peabody Schools about the City budget, the charter update, local businesses, and affordable housing!

Today is Election Day! Polls are open until 8pm. I’ve never been successfully re-elected before—I lost my last re-election by a handful of votes. I’m hoping to change that today

I was just in the protected bike lane on Hampshire St yesterday! Thank you!

Knocking doors today with @votejivan.bsky.social and @votealzubi.com and stopping to say hello to all the dogs 🐶 be sure to vote by November 4th 🗳️

A+ job on the examples of ballot marking, @cambridgemass.bsky.social.

Sobrinho-Wheeler [said] in an email after the press conference “As the Trump administration is using food for kids all over the country as a political bargaining chip in the government shutdown, Cambridge is stepping up to launch an emergency fund for residents.” www.cambridgeday.com/2025/10/31/w...

Began the day by running down the last of my Ward 4 lit and then walked up to Cambridge to canvass for @votejivan.bsky.social and do some rent control signature collection #mapoli

#CambMA It's personal for Jivan! For me? I stopped urban biking 50+ years ago but I really, really don't want another bike death in my fair city!

Thank you for all you've done for safer streets, and so much more

In 2018, I lost part of two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge. Two years after my crash—in my 1st term on the City Council—I introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance. It’s added miles of protected bike lanes—including on Hampshire St, Mass Ave, and Brattle St.

The only bad costume is no costume. Thanks for coming!

Beautiful morning to join the Peabody School Bike Bus for their Halloween ride to school with the School of Honk band! I came as a City Councillor 4 days before an election who didn’t have time to plan a real costume. Lots of volunteers there from @cambbikesafety.bsky.social

Margaret Brady has been a leader in the work to create a Cambridge Community Land Trust. It's been great working with her over the past couple years. And she wrote an amazing letter in support of my campaign in the @CambridgeDay www.cambridgeday.com/2025/10/25/a...

Thanks to @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social for covering my City Council campaign earlier this month! I'm excited to keep fighting to make Cambridge a welcoming and more affordable place in light of Trump’s attacks on our communities www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Looks like the rain may spare us, and HONKoween is looking good to go! Want to see a marching band, five City council candidates, and like 100 elementary school kids parading through our #CambMa streets on bikes? Join us along the parade route Friday morn, 8:10-8:25am!

I lost my first re-election to the Cambridge City Council by a handful of votes. If housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, and sustainability are issues that matter to you— I’m asking for your #1 vote by 11/4!

Congresswoman @ayannapressley has been a champion for housing justice, transportation and safer streets, and childcare. I’m proud to have her endorsement!

Rank @votejivan.bsky.social #1! I am!!

In-person early voting has started! We voted early at the Main Library today. Early voting is happening from now thru this Friday, 10/31! Here are the 3 early voting locations & hours in Cambridge

I just signed up for public comment to speak in favor of this TONIGHT at City Council. You can too!!! www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/...

With the Mass Ave 4 project gone silent, it’s a sad time to rely on a bike to get your kid around North Cambridge. HOWEVER, @votejivan.bsky.social has intro’d a PO for the city to examine local-street neighborways treatments to make these streets more bikeable! cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Det...

We also appreciate that two of our "Bike Champion" endorsees, Vice-Mayor Marc McGovern and Councillor @votejivan.bsky.social, shared their thoughtful perspectives on street safety and the links between policymakers and advocates.

Representation matters. Thank you, @votejivan.bsky.social, for your continued leadership in making streets accessible and safe for everyone 🚶🚴 From @meghanvolcy.bsky.social in @mass.streetsblog.org #cambma #mapoli mass.streetsblog.org/2025/10/23/f...

Today is the deadline to register to vote in the Cambridge City Council election! You can register at the Election Commission at 689 Mass Ave until 5pm. And if you have an MA ID you can register online. Great time to ask friends, co-workers & roommates in Cambridge about registering to vote here!

Clean Elections are at the core of our vision for leftist politics — so I was excited to testify this week before the Joint Committee on Election Laws in support of legislation I filed to allow for public financing of municipal elections. Thank you @votejivan.bsky.social for working with me on this.

Huge Bike Bus crowd for the warm up to next Friday’s HONKoween ride! Including @votejivan.bsky.social! At least five 5️⃣ of @cambbikesafety.bsky.social Bike Champions will ride with us! Join us along the route (we ride 8:10-8:25am) and cheer us on?

Thank you to @votejivan.bsky.social (Councilor Sobrinho-Wheeler) @councillorsiddiqui.bsky.social (Councilor Siddiqui) and Councilor Nolan for opposing this surveillance from the start.

@electerika.bsky.social kicking off a canvass for @votejivan.bsky.social in Porter Square this morning #mapoli

The current US House Republican budget proposal cuts $1 billion in housing funds. On the City Council, we’ve secured $1 million in City funds for housing vouchers, but the federal government needs to stop these cuts. Proud to stand with @localprogress.bsky.social to demand Congress step up

Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend to drink hot cider and write postcards to voters about housing affordability, afterschool programs, sustainability and safer streets! We have just under a month left win this election
