Come say hi at Porchfest today! Stop by my table at 1716 Lanier Pl NW to learn a bit more about my campaign while we listen to some fantastic music. My team will be there from 2-5, and I will be there starting at 3:30. See you soon!

I’m not satisfied with progressive ideas that get stuck on paper. I’m running to be Ward 1’s next Councilmember because I want to work block by block to make them real.

Allow me to reintroduce myself: I’m a pro-democracy organizer, the Chairman of ANC 1B, and the proud son of an immigrant family. I'm also the most pro-housing candidate in this race.

Scenes from Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park today: painting, excavating, pruning, shoveling

@miguelfordc.bsky.social has the skills and knowledge to build more housing in DC ethically and responsibly while prioritizing fundamental human rights and a holistic view.

This week, I sat down with Hillary Howard on Sunrise on the Hill/DC News Now to share why @rashidaforward1.bsky.social and I are cross-endorsing each other in this exciting race.

As a former Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner myself, it’s pretty awesome to see the only ANC commissioners in the Ward 1 CM primary officially cross-endorse each other! Having the lived experience as an ANC commissioner is extremely helpful for ward-level CMs!

Here in Mount Pleasant, @rashidabrown.bsky.social and Miguel Trindade Deramo are making their cross endorsement in the Ward 1 race official here.

It’s official — we’re making history! As @citycastdc.bsky.social reported, “Two Ward 1 candidates are teaming up in an unusual alliance — and urging voters to rank them both — in one of the clearest signs yet that ranked choice voting is reshaping D.C. campaigns.” dc.citycast.fm/dc-politics/...

When your YIMBY ANC commissioner is running for Ward 1 Council 😍

It was a joy to join @peterodrigue.bsky.social and @dcyimbys.bsky.social for an urbanist walking tour of Lanier Heights!

Soy orgullosamente hijo de una familia de migrantes brasileños. Sé lo que está en juego para nuestras comunidades de migrantes, y me postulo para hacer algo al respecto.

Don’t miss it! Join me at 5 PM TODAY for the Capitol Stonewall Democrats’ virtual Ward 1 candidate forum to hear exactly how I’m fighting for DC’s LGBTQ+ community 🌈 RSVP: events.hovercast.com/e/stonewall-...

If you're pro-streatery, pro-housing, pro-bike, and pro-transit, you'll love my platform! And today is a great day to support the campaign. Max contribution allowed is only $50, and DC matches *five-to-one* what I raise from DC residents. Let's go 🚀 secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

I’m pro-bike because I live it. I sold my car years ago and have never been happier. We’re a bike-friendly city but we still have a long way to go 🚴🏽 Let’s deliver safe streets and efficient transit worthy of the nation’s capital. Ⓜ️#️⃣1️⃣

Thank you to @lorenzohall1.bsky.social for inviting me to the @wusa9.com.web.brid.gy studios to discuss some of the pressing issues facing not just Ward 1 voters, but all Washingtonians. We covered affordability, housing, federal overreach, youth support & engagement, and much more!

Ward 1 #bikeDC voters, this race is wide open so consider voting at this endorsement meeting Saturday for the biggest pro-biking champion in our council race Miguel Trindade Deramo. Aparna Raj is also really great, and Rashida Brown worth a look. This is a good opportunity to impact the election.

Good friends knock doors for their friend who’s running for the DC Council, especially when the weather is nice! Contribute to @miguelward1.bsky.social publicly financed campaign by the April 10 deadline for the next campaign finance report secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

Take a quick survey by April 30 to tell the DC Office of Planning that the draft FLUM we have seen should be sent back to the drawing board: survey123.arcgis.com/share/61f668...

It’s no substitute for reforming the DDOT regulations (rank Miguel #1), but I learned today that District Bridges supports Mt Pleasant businesses in navigating the application and design process for streateries and they’re taking donations: donorbox.org/bring-back-m...

The message is loud and clear: let DC grow!

Last night, I was honored to moderate a discussion between the superintendent of Rock Creek Park and the community of folks who love, uplift, and rely on Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park as our vital town square! 🧵

#NoKings #FreeDC

¡Te invito a participar en este foro para los candidatos del Distrito 1 al Concejo Municipal, organizado por el Caucus Latino de DC!

As someone in the profession, it’s all too obvious when elected officials talk the talk just to appease the active transportation community. @miguelward1.bsky.social is NOT that—his record of success, community & DC gov relationships, & lived experience makes him uniquely qualified in this race.

As our ANC Chair, Miguel has been a fierce advocate for Malcolm X Park, organizing community cleanups & working with NPS to improve communication/stewardship. As our next Councilperson, @miguelward1.bsky.social will bring this energy to more beloved public spaces. Great piece in @51st.news!

Very grateful for these glowing words from the @dcbikewalkbuspac.bsky.social - I’m proud of my record delivering on bike and infrastructure and road safety improvements!

As a commissioner, I’ve supported bold policy to legalize row homes, sixplexes, and ADUs. As a councilmember, I will not vote for a Comprehensive Plan that falls short on creating the housing we need. Period.

The Office of Planning is proposing to increase density on only ONE!!! entire city block in Ward 1. That, plus a playground and a church and a corner store. That’s it, for our entire ward. Send the FLUM back to the drawing board.

Housing is a human right, but we cannot guarantee access to housing that does not exist. Proud to join @dcyimbys.bsky.social to tell the Office of Planning to make it easier, faster, and cheaper to build all types of housing. Let DC grow. Their draft FLUM does not meet the moment. 🧵

Ward 1 neighbors: looking for the pro-housing, pro-density, YIMBY Councilmember of your dreams? @miguelward1.bsky.social is the candidate for you: miguelward1.com/priorities

Advocating for public spaces got me into DC politics. I will always champion deliberate & *human-centric* design of our parks, streets, neighborhoods. The feds and the District need to work cooperatively & long-term to manage and maintain Malcolm X as a true urban park for DC.

👎🏼 The District's planning agency is only considering this tiny handful of parcels in Ward 1 for increased density in the next Comprehensive Plan. This draft map is, in a word, unambitious. The density of Ward 1 is one of its greatest assets and we deserve more of it.

I'm at Grand Duchess to show support for @miguelward1.bsky.social and to kick off #MBTPubroll. If you're in Ward 1, please consider donating and ranking him on your ballot!

Wow -- @miguelfordc.bsky.social raised the most money of any Ward 1 candidate this month! Come meet him and learn more about his campaign tomorrow night in Adams Morgan! partiful.com/e/UuTYQ9iv6O...?

Reminder, this Thursday #MBTpubroll starts at Grand Duchess at 5:30pm to coincide with a meet & greet for Ward 1 candidate @miguelward1.bsky.social who has a super pro-bike platform! Then we'll bike across the park to Judy's on 14th. Come one, come all, come pub roll 🚲🍻

Mark your calendars, next Th #MBTpubroll starts at Grand Duchess at 5:30pm to coincide with a meet & greet for Ward 1 candidate @miguelward1.bsky.social who has a fantastic pro-bike platform! Afterward biking across the park to Judy's on 14th. Come one, come all, come pub roll for more bike lanes 🚲🍻

As chairman of ANC 1B, I brought in the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety to answer tough questions about MPD and ICE. Republicans in Congress will *never* do proper oversight, so it’s on us. The Council should pass these bills & as a CM I’ll work to ensure they’re implemented

What a beautiful weekend for canvassing! I want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing volunteers who dedicated their weekend to speaking to voters with us.

This week! Come hang with @miguelward1.bsky.social , @swiderski.bsky.social , myself, and others who share Miguel’s passion and priorities for housing, transit, transportation, and overall good urbanism. partiful.com/e/UuTYQ9iv6O...

Ward 1 knows what’s up. Make the residential composting pilot a permanent program. Increase the number of smart bins. Replace our open-air rat buffets, I mean litter bins. Install more litter and recycling bins. It’s not rocket science; it’s good municipal management.

Streets on U! This is good news: a locally-owned grocery business can serve as a strong anchor on the U St. corridor. We need more neighborhood staples like grocery stores, mid-range everyday restaurants, and local retail to diversify & keep vibrant our local economy.

Friends! Neighbors! Fellow nerds! So excited to co-host a meet & greet for my dear friend @miguelward1.bsky.social on 3/4 with a focus on transit & housing. Join us to learn why Miguel—a true urbanist and YIMBY—deserves your vote to be our next Ward 1 Councilperson. partiful.com/e/UuTYQ9iv6O...

Come meet @miguelward1.bsky.social and learn more about his priorities for transportation, public transit, and housing — Wednesday 3/4, at Grand Duchess in Adams Morgan.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Happy to see some wins for DC in a hopeless time on the Hill — and especially $250k for the installation of solar-powered bike docks for @bikeshare.bsky.social 🥳 Thank you @eleanornorton.bsky.social!

This Black History Month, we celebrate the trailblazers and innovators who have shaped public transportation and advanced civil rights around the country and right here in DC, such as WMATA’s Carmen E. Turner and Rosa Parks—whose birthday is honored today on Transit Equity Day.

Ward 1 friends who value strong transit and transportation: @miguelward1.bsky.social is the candidate for you!

Watching the DC Bike Walk and Bus PAC Ward 1 candidate forum and one thing is clear so far: candidate Terry Lynch (off camera) is wrong on every issue.

The ANC last night also passed my resolution advising @ddotdc.bsky.social that curbside space from which streateries are removed should not be assumed to automatically revert to parking. DDOT should consult with ANCs & other stakeholders to tailor plans to the needs of each neighborhood.
