Heritage Park matters. This is what one Raleigh resident told me last night. Heritage Park is a public housing community in District D. I met with the Heritage Park Resident Council to hear about the issues on their mind. They are asking who will get to live in the tall buildings of Raleigh. They areContinue reading “Heritage Park matters.”

Raleigh should be a sanctuary city
It was a great, fierce and loving crowd last night. We took to the streets to protest the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and limit women’s freedom and autonomy. We must voice dissent when our rights are at risk. Raleigh should be a sanctuary city for those seeking reproductive healthcare. Other citiesContinue reading “Raleigh should be a sanctuary city”

I want to ensure safety for bicyclists, pedestrians, skateboarders, and all of the folks who choose alternative ways to get around. I attended the Oaks and Spokes Trail Oriented Design forum to learn aboutContinue reading “Happy (& safe) biking!”

Raleigh has one of the strongest economies in the U.S., so they typically choose other communities for their research. And yet many residents here are still excludedContinue reading “Economic Inclusion”

Although I’m betting our next chance to vote will indeed be November 8th this year, the question remains about who some residents will be able to vote for.

Covid continues, continue to take care!
We had all hoped the COVID-19 pandemic would be over by now. And yet the struggle continues. I tested positive during the omicron surge. Being laid up with a cough, sore throat and head fog is not my preferred state of being. During these dark days, I am grateful that my symptoms were not worse.Continue reading “Covid continues, continue to take care!”
