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.
I’m thrilled to receive the support of @dcyimbys.bsky.social #1 rank in their Ward 1 endorsement! I strongly believe housing is a human right, though we can’t guarantee access to housing that does not exist.
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-...

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.

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.
Miguel for Ward 1@miguelward1.bsky.social · 5mo agoVery 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!

Miguel for Ward 1@miguelward1.bsky.social · 5mo ago👎🏼 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.

Alex Taliadoros@alexctaliadoros.bsky.social · 5mo agoDC's Office of Planning released their *draft* Future Land Use Map earlier today. 🗺️: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/draft-... The map will be a big part of the city's next Comprehensive Plan rewrite, "DC 2050." What are your thoughts?
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.
Miguel Trindade Deramo, ANC@miguelfordc.bsky.social · 5mo agoTurf replacement at Malcolm X Park is WAY overdue. But closing the entire lawn without community engagement has rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way. I'm working closely with local NPS leadership to find an alternative plan that preserves some access to DC's vital town square. wapo.st/4t0b1Cx
