Last week, I took CM Pedersen and @seattledot Interim Dir. Simpson & Vision Zero team across D2 to highlight some of the most dangerous places to travel as a pedestrian.
We went to:
▶️ 4th and Holgate
▶️ Rainier & 23rd
▶️ Rainier & Henderson
Today, the Supreme Court disregarded 50+ yrs of precedence and achieved their perverse agenda – to violate basic human rights, take away a person’s right to choose, and force people to give birth. While this is a moment of unspeakable sorrow, we must not let it lead to despair.
One in four women in this country have had an abortion. I am one of them. And I am terrified and outraged for the many people who will need abortion care today and every day forthcoming, particularly Black and Brown folks across the country. southseattleemerald.com/2022/05/20/opi…

Thank you, Consul General @MichaelPostl & the delegation, from Austria who met with me yesterday to discuss building high quality publicly owned #SocialHousing that is affordable to all people in Seattle. This is the sort of housing provided to 60% all people in Vienna. 🧵
We talked about the need for social housing as a new tool in our toolbox - especially in places like LA, SF, & Seattle, where rents have skyrocketed, displacement is rampant, & new construction of homes for working people isn't matching the pace of need.

Recent events have brought into relief the depths of structural racism in our society:
- the impact of coronavirus on black communities
- the callous demeanor of a police officer as he kneels on a man’s neck, listens to him plead for his life for 8 minutes. And kills him. 1/9
- the confidence of a white woman weaponizing her tears to set up an innocent black man.
The blatant expressions of racism within *all* of our systems unleashed the fury of our black neighbors across the country, including here in Seattle. It’s a fury we should all share.
