final plug for my Lanier Heights walking tour this sunday at 2pm w/ @dcyimbys.bsky.social 60+ ppl rsvp'd--join us! Claire's making lemonade @rashidaforward1.bsky.social will be there and also my mom, if u want to meet someone who's been struck by lightning actionnetwork.org/events/dc-yi...

Had an excellent conversation with @rashidabrown.bsky.social who was out knockin’ doors today. She’ll be a champion for Ward 1 as well as affordable housing, affordable childcare and multi-modal transportation city-wide. Highly recommend ranking her high up on your ballot!

While canvassing near @Howard.edu, I heard the marching band playing as I talked with neighbors about ranked choice voting—and why I’m asking you to rank me #1. My journey started right here on Georgia Avenue 25 years ago when I came to Ward 1.

"When it comes to why Ward 1 voters should rank her first on their ballots, Brown says it's her track record, including working with the District Department of Transportation as an ANC to help create protected bike lanes along Kenyon Street, Warder Street, and Park Place." 51st.news/ward-1-dc-co...

Grateful to earn the endorsement of @ggwash.org—an organization that fights for abundant housing, safe and reliable transportation, and thriving, inclusive communities. That’s exactly what I’ve delivered in Ward 1: ✅ Created 456 new homes at Park Morton & Bruce Monroe—60% affordable

I’m so honored to be ranked #1 by @dcvfa.bsky.social. Thank you for this endorsement—and for recognizing that how we treat animals reflects who we are as a city. I’ll fight for stronger protections, humane policies, and real support for animal rescue—because compassion should guide our city. 🐾

Come out and canvass with me this weekend! Saturday's location TBD. Sunday we'll be in Lanier Heights so we can head over to DC YIMBY's walking tour at 2 p.m. They'll be talking about the impact of downzoning, the lack of housing & too much street parking. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/dc-yi...

Canvassing this weekend was a blast! I love talking with Ward 1 residents. They remind me of what I'm fighting for—affordable housing, accessible child care, & public safety. I'm prepared to deliver as Councilmember starting Day 1. Let's keep knocking, keep listening, & keep building together!💙🤍💙

Your vote matters, even in April! Hope you're coming out for the @ward1democrats.org Endorsement meeting TODAY to show your support for Rashida! Starts at 2 pm, Council endorsements start at 3 pm. Thurgood Marshall Ct, 1816 12th St NW.

I'm a social worker. I know underfunding child care & educators is not only bad policy–it also threatens our most vulnerable residents. As Councilmember, I'll go further than funding existing child care programs–I'll prioritize universal child care for all our families. x.com/empowereddc/...

Thanks to DC Nightlife Council for hosting a thoughtful Ward 1 debate. As CM, I'll fight to preserve Ward 1's small businesses who deserve protection from displacement. I will deliver commercial rent stabilization, community ownership models & equitable access to capital. rashidaforward1.com/issues

@ward1dems.org: I’m a proud member & former Vice-Chair of Ward 1 Democrats, an ANC for the past 10 years, and passionate about this community that has given me so much. Join us at Saturday’s endorsement meeting, 2-4:30 pm (Council endorsements, 3 pm). Thurgood Marshall Ctr, 1816 12th St NW.

Honored to earn the endorsement of @sierraclubdc.bsky.social 🌱 We share commitment to bold climate action, environmental justice & building a greener, healthier Ward 1. From expanding clean energy and sustainable transit to protecting our green spaces and reducing pollution. Let’s get to work.💙🤍💙

I’m excited for this very busy week! The @ward1democrats.org Endorsement Meeting on Saturday afternoon is the headliner - I hope you’ll come out to support and to make your endorsement voice heard. But also join me for tonight’s DC Nightlife Council Debate and canvassing this weekend.

It’s the DC Nightlife Council Ward 1 debate tomorrow night! I’m proud of the work I’ve done to support nightlife establishments and can’t wait to dig into these issues with fellow candidates. We’ll be gathering at Hook Hall—once an abandoned grocery store. Now a thriving business I supported as ANC!

Happy Easter and Happy Pesach! Loved canvassing today. Talking to the people of Ward 1 reminds me of what I'm fighting for. I'm prepared to deliver affordable housing, accessible child care & safety for every resident as Ward 1 Councilmember. Keep knocking, keep listening, & keep building together!💙

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of @CIR/SEIU—frontline doctors who dedicate their lives to caring for our communities. As a social worker who served in 2 hospitals and worked on health care policy, I’ve seen firsthand how critical it is for residents to have access to quality care.

Thank you to the vols who canvassed with me this weekend! We've knocked 1,000+ doors & we're not done. Every voice deserves to be heard, and I'm dedicated to delivering on what voters want—affordability, public safety, child care & so much more. Let's keep knocking, listening & building together.💙🤍💙

Proud to have represented Ward 1, a community built by Latino immigrants. I’m outraged by ICE's actions that tear families apart. I’ve seen firsthand the trauma it causes. As Councilmember, I'll restore TOPA & increase HPAP, two anti-displacement tools I’ve supported for decades. I'll also

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of the Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington Laborers’ District Council, an affiliate of @weareliuna.bsky.social. LiUNA represents the backbone of our city—workers who build, maintain, and strengthen our communities every single day.

I loved meeting w/ Trabajadores Unidos de Washington DC about their priorities and vision for Ward 1. From worker protections to economic opportunity, their advocacy reflects the real needs of our community. I look forward to partnering with them on delivering for our working families.

So grateful for the support at Latoya & Vinnie’s fundraiser. We share a special bond through Howard U, an institution that shaped us into leaders. I now have the honor of serving—& running to represent—the Ward that helped make me who I am. Together, we’re building something powerful for Ward 1.💙🤍💙

I love canvassing in Mt. Pleasant—it’s a reminder of how strong and vibrant our ward is. Even with the rough weather, the good energy from voters was undeniable. Grateful for every doorstep conversation, every smile, and every story shared. This is why I’m committed to fighting for Ward 1 every day.

Self Care Tuesday! Loved making body butter at the Bernice Fonteneau Senior Wellness Center with Ward 1’s finest!🧴💙✨ Seniors deserve the ability to age with the support they need. As your next DC Councilmember, I’m committed to making sure our seniors can continue to thrive right here in Ward 1.💙 🤍

This week I’m spending time with our Latino community in support of workers, welcoming public spaces and with the Latino Caucus forum and endorsement vote Thursday night at Thurgood Marshall Ctr – the Ward 1 portion begins at 7:45 pm. Can you join us to show support?

Canvassing this weekend was amazing! I’m so grateful for the incredible team of volunteers who have been out knocking doors across Ward 1. Thank you for showing up, for believing in this vision, and for putting in the work. Let’s keep knocking, keep listening, and keep building together. 💙🤍💙

So grateful to Sabrina and Ngozi for hosting such a fun, welcoming fundraiser!💛 It meant so much to see friends, colleagues and loved ones from many different walks of life come together to support this campaign. This is what community looks like—and it’s exactly what we’re building for Ward 1.💙🤍💙

I was honored to speak at the @ward1democrats.org Candidate Forum and share my story of coming here as a Howard student w/a dream to build a life in a community full of culture, resilience, and possibility. I’m a proud Democrat—former Vice Chair of Ward 1 Dems—where I worked to grow our base,

The draft land use planning map that came out of the Office of Planning is insufficient - it barely adds density to the city, which is begging for more affordable housing & for the dense and diverse communities that make small business, transit & everything else about our communities work better.

Honored to celebrate 50 years with @stonewalldems51.bsky.social!🌈 Ward 1’s strength is our diverse, vibrant community. As a social worker, I’ve supported LGBTQ+ families and will partner with trans & nonbinary Washingtonians to tackle housing insecurity, youth homelessness, and healthcare access.💙🤍💙

I love seeing campaign signs going up all across Ward 1—it’s a powerful reminder that this movement is growing, block by block, neighbor by neighbor. Since we kicked off this campaign, I’ve been going door to door listening, learning, and sharing my vision for a Ward 1 that works for all of us.

Ward 1 neighbors—join me this Saturday at the Ward 1 Dems Candidate Forum from 2–4 PM at the Thurgood Marshall Ctr - Ward 1 Council candidates at 3pm. I came to this community 25 years ago as a social work student w/a sleeping bag and a dream—and built my life here through hard work, public service,

Loved meeting nonprofit leaders at the @fairchancedc’s candidate meet & greet. Great conversation on the challenges facing providers across DC—from workforce sustainability to fair/equitable funding. Nonprofits deserve to be paid fairly for the work they do providing services to our communities!

Today I rallied w/childcare providers, advocates & others fighting for critical childcare investments. As someone who's championed early childhood programs for years I won’t stand by while the Mayor cuts pay equity & child care subsidies. I’ll continue to be that fighter on the Council! #Under3DC

I enjoyed speaking with the Wallach Place neighbors. Thanks to my lovely hosts Sarah, Howie and Ellen! We talked trash, rats, federal overreach and what they want to see in the next Ward1 leader.

Let's meet up this week! I'll be rallying on the steps of the Wilson Bldg for a Day Without DC Childcare rally, Wed, 9am. Then let's chat at 10am at the meet & greet w/the Coalition for Nonprofity Equity, at Cafe Unido, 908 W St. NW. Canvass with me on Sat & Sun morning. rashidaforward1.com/canvass

Thanks to Jews United For Justice Campaign Fund volunteers for coming out today to canvass in Mount Pleasant! Together we're standing up for immigrants, affordable housing, worker rights and justice!

Big thanks to everyone who came out to our Neighborhood Leads Rally at Midlands last night! We’re excited to keep building momentum and growing our field team. Ready to get involved? Sign up today! rashidaforward1.com/get-involved

I was saddened and disturbed to hear about the attack outside the synagogue near Detroit on Thursday, especially following other recent incidents targeting Jewish communities. I'm grateful that the staff and preschool children in the building are safe.

It's not too late to show your support for Rashida in the DC Women In Politics preference poll! Vote by March 14. Link: www.dcwomeninpolitics.org/2026_pp_cd1 #RashidaBrownforWard1 #RB4DC

Come knock doors with Rashida and volunteers with JUFJ Campaign Fund! This Sunday, 11-1. Meet at Lamont Plaza in Mount Pleasant (3210 Mt. Pleasant St. NW). Sign up: rashidaforward1.com/canvass

Thank you to my Delta Sigma Theta Sorority sisters for hosting a lovely fundraiser for me at Apple Lounge. The room was filled with social workers, mental health professionals, #HU alumni and human service leaders in the District of Columbia

Thanks Monica and Jeannine for an amazing fundraiser event for my campaign. It was great seeing so many ANC commissioners, active DC Democrats and good friends at my event.

Thank you to Christine Miller, Ben Williams, and Kent Boese for hosting an incredible meet-and-greet at Midlands Beer Garden!

It's ridiculous that the Mayor has resisted the legally-required release of this report for so long. DC has a car traffic problem. Environmental impacts of cars, traffic noise, pollution all detract from the quality of the downtown we live, work & shop in. Congestion pricing has been successful...

Meet up with Rashida this weekend! Canvass Saturday morning. Join volunteers from Jews United For Justice Campaign Fund, which endorsed Rashida, canvassing on Sunday morning. Come by the Bike, Walk & Bus PAC town hall in the afternoon at Shaw Library. Hope to see you there!

Essential service workers make D.C. run, as commercial cleaners, security officers, maintenance workers, airport service workers and more. As the daughter of a union member, I’m proud to stand with all workers and the unions that represent them.

Let’s talk! The U St. Civic Association has invited me to meet with residents tonight, from 6-8 p.m. at the Thurgood Marshall Center, 1816 12th St., NW. I look forward to talking about the community’s needs and answering your questions.

Thank you DC Women in Politics hosting the Ward 1 Candidate Forum at the Greater Washington Urban League and my supporter for attending. To join our movement, go to my here: rashidaforward1.com

I'll be joining the D.C. Women in Politics Candidates Debate this afternoon at 1 p.m. Ward 1 Council candidates are up first! In-person tix are sold out but you can watch live at www.facebook.com/DcWomenInPol...
