3 members of Metro Council have filed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. I fully support Israel’s right to self defense. I only call on the terrorist group Hamas to immediately release all hostages and surrender.

You can't send dozens of emails & texts a day calling it the most important election of our lives because the threat is so great but fail to put forward a candidate voters have confidence in. No one earns the right to go out on their shield in politics.

We don’t need an expensive consultant study—unions representing the city’s workers have made it clear that Metro Government doesn’t pay a wage competitive enough to attract and retain workers for many of these positions.

Over a quarter of city government jobs in Louisville are currently unfilled. To try to combat that vacancy rate, Louisville Metro Government has agreed to pay consulting firm Deloitte $150k to analyze its hiring process. Good digging from @ellie_mccrary

I spoke against these before the school board this past summer. These AI systems are a multimillion dollar fleecing of our school system which absolutely can't afford the waste, don't work, & make students feel less safe.

On this day in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated in Memphis, TN. Dr. King was in Memphis to support city sanitation workers striking for safety, dignity & better pay—a fact that is unfortunately treated like a footnote. Like trivia.

Door by door, we're building a movement to transform Metro Government. We can have a city that responds to the needs of the people but nothing will change without us working together to demand it. Come out on Sunday to see how you can be a part of that.

I don't want Trump back in the Oval Office. The danger of an emboldened, openly fascist US President is nearly indescribable. That we are on the brink of voting one in is unthinkable. Biden should step aside. The DNC should make the decision if he won't.
