Wise words from @votejivan.bsky.social in @jacobinmag.bsky.social jacobin.com/2026/05/sobr...

See you on Saturday at 11am! Come meet @evanforcambridge.bsky.social, learn about what the city and state can do to protect immigrants, and talk about other priorities

Cambridge socialist City Councilor Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler argues that solving the housing crisis means building more homes while fighting for affordability and tenant power.

I don’t agree with every single thing in this @votejivan.bsky.social piece, but I definitely gonna veer closer to his stance than Jake Auchincloss and Bret Goddamn Stephens

Wrote about our work on housing on the Cambridge City Council in @jacobinmag.bsky.social! Our housing crisis isn’t caused by gov’t. It’s caused by state & federal electeds failing to legislate and empowering bad actors. It’s time for more bold action at the local level jacobin.com/2026/05/sobr...

New motto of porchfest is “please don’t drive on porchfest day”

Do you have a favorite tree in Cambridge? It might be someone else's favorite too storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9bf3...

Join us and @votejivan.bsky.social to discuss how we can protect our immigrant neighbors! We want to hear from YOU! Come share your concerns, ideas, and hopes for our community!

Great event on employee owned businesses & succession planning at Cambridge City Hall today on May Day! Thanks to Circus Coop Cafe @portersqbooks.bsky.social and others for participating and Cambridge’s Economic Development folks for organizing

Beautiful May Day to march with Cambridge Education Association, @bostondsa.org and others from Cambridge to Boston Common for worker and immigrants rights, public education, and making billionaires pay taxes!

Incredible experience to meet @aoc.bsky.social and our very own @ayannapressley.bsky.social with @votejivan.bsky.social yesterday. Running for office as a democratic socialist is an intense, challenging, and at times isolating experience, especially as candidates of color.

Proud to stand with Harvard University workers from @hgsuuaw and @haworkers who are on strike! They're fighting for a fair contract with harassment & discrimination safeguards, fair compensation, and protections for immigrant workers

Good luck, speakers! I can’t make it tonight, but said my piece via email yesterday. Thanks to @councilloralzubi.bsky.social and @votejivan.bsky.social for putting the PO forward, and to @cambbikesafety.bsky.social for their work as always.

Done. Now on to CMA#6, the Ahern v. Sig Sauer settlement for $400,000-ish. Well, transfer of $400,000 to support the settlement.

JSW will oppose the settlement and thinks it'll cost the city "far more money."

“Cambridge’s home rule petition is one way the city can help keep attention and pressure on the issue, and I’m glad we moved forward with it last night,” Sobrinho-Wheeler told Cambridge Day via email.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our press conference to announce my run for State Senate this morning!!! A big thank you to MTA, IBEW 2222, @votejivan.bsky.social Jon Link, and JT Scott and for all of our incredible community members and supporters for coming out to support this morning!

State representative Erika Uyterhoeven (@electerika.bsky.social) is running for state senate to replace Pat Jehlen who is retiring after this year. Both @votejivan.bsky.social and @jtforward2.bsky.social are endorsing her for state senate.

Cambridge councilor @votejivan.bsky.social introducing a policy order to advance a ‘Snow Corps’ for better sidewalk-shoveling www.reddit.com/r/CambridgeM...

I’m introducing a policy order on sidewalk snow removal at our City Council meeting this Monday! Some cities like NYC and Boston have recently been exploring increased municipal sidewalk snow clearance. Cambridge can follow these cities’ leads and expand sidewalk snow clearance here as well!

‼️TAKE ACTION: NO WAR WITH IRAN‼️ Organize/attend a rally with @answercoalition.bsky.social , lobby Congress to pass the War Powers Resolution, and organize your union to pass an antiwar resolution! 🌹

Met with East Cambridge residents this morning about improving the intersection of Charles River Dam Road & Museum Way by the Museum of Science. Right now it’s dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. It’s time to fix it

Thank for flagging this crosswalk! I had a little time this morning before our Finance Committee meeting, so I stopped by and shoveled it out

Had a great time shoveling out crosswalks, bus stops, fire hydrants & sidewalks with @evanforcambridge.bsky.social and other @bostondsa.org friends this morning!

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
