As your next DC Councilmember, I’m committed to expanding workforce pipelines, investing in union partnerships, and making sure our local talent is first in line for opportunity💙🤍💪🏾👷🏾♀️.

I saw firsthand how they are preparing DC residents for good-paying, union careers through hands-on training, mentorship, and pathways into the skilled trades. Strong apprenticeship programs are critical to building an equitable workforce .

More moments from the Jews United for Justice event this past Monday 💙 . I’m grateful to stand with such a powerful community as we continue working toward a better Ward 1 for everyone.
In this moment, when so many people feel disillusioned by our democracy, we have the opportunity to model something better: campaigns that can compete with integrity and still stand together for Ward 1.
workers’ rights, and fully funded public services.
It was especially meaningful to gather in the spirit of Ranked Choice Voting. RCV invites us into a different kind of politics — one rooted in collaboration over division, shared vision over scarcity.

Their endorsement means so much to me because it reflects shared values—equity, dignity, safety, and opportunity for every family in our city. JUFJ has long organized at the intersection of racial and economic justice, and I’m proud to stand in alignment with their commitment to affordable housing,
Last night was a powerful reminder of what democracy can look like at its best. I’m so grateful to Jews United for Justice for hosting a beautiful fundraiser in support of both me and @aparnafordc.bsky.social as we run for DC Council in Ward 1.
Great meeting up w/former DC Councilmember Frank Smith and getting a sneak peek at the exciting new renovations at the African American Civil War Museum that elevate the powerful stories of Black soldiers & freedom fighters who shaped our nation. Ward 1 is rich with Black history. #BlackHistoryMonth

Huge thank you to Liz Furgurson and Sally Greenberg for hosting a fundraiser for our campaign last night! We’re so grateful for the incredible support behind our people powered movement 💙 !
Loved every second of this dance party with my Ward 1 seniors at the Bernice Elizabeth Fonteneau Wellness Center! 💃🏾✨ So grateful for spaces like the Center that keep our seniors active, connected & thriving. This is why we fight for strong investments in wellness, recreation & community programming.
His work paved the way for leaders like me. Because he ran, because he organized, because he refused to accept political exclusion, Black candidates across this country — including right here in Ward 1 — can step forward with vision and confidence.
What uplifts me most about Reverend Jackson’s legacy is his courage. He believed that government must work for the people — esp. those pushed to the margins. He organized, mobilized, spoke truth to power. And he insisted that our communities deserved dignity, opportunity, and real investment.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. — a freedom fighter, presidential candidate, and unwavering champion for Black empowerment. Rev. Jackson showed our nation what was possible when Black leadership was bold, organized, and unapologetic about demanding justice.
As I run for DC Council in Ward 1, I’m choosing to lead with love, rooted in courage, accountability, and community. The kind of love that checks on neighbors. That organizes. That votes. That shows up.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Ward 1! Thank you for your continued support.
#RashidaBrownforWard1
This Valentine’s Day, my heart is full ❤️.
I know so many of us are carrying fear right now. Fear about our democracy. Fear about what’s happening in our city and across the country. Fear about whether our voices will still matter tomorrow.
And that fear is real.
But love is real too.
We had a thoughtful conversation about housing supply, affordability, responsible development, and what it takes to create stable pathways to homeownership. look forward to continuing the dialogue 💙🏡.
