Oct 14, 2026 - Bard High School

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I am partnering with Ward 8 State Board of Education Representative Dr. LaJoy Johnson-Law, the Bard High School PTO, and Bard High School to hold a community listening session to hear about people’s experiences with National Guard troops and federal agents near our schools.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

No family in DC should feel unsafe or intimidated in our school zones. Unfortunately, I continue to hear concerns from students, parents, and teachers about having armed National Guard troops congregate and station outside several of our schools – and we want to hear directly from our community.

✅ Conducting more research on zones for e-bikes and scooters ✅ Improving technology for parking requirements ✅ Identifying best sidewalk detection technology We must make sure our infrastructure remains safe, accessible, and reliable for everyone.

✅ Limiting permit contracts to 2-year cycles ✅ Allowing public input in permitting application process ✅ Exploring geofencing to assist with parking requirements ✅ Enhancing public reporting on these contracts

As the Department of Transportation reviews public feedback on proposed permitting rules for electric scooters and e-bikes in the District, I submitted my recommendations to ensure the changes put your safety first, which include:

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

In Ward 2, our corridors are buzzing – and keeping our roads and sidewalks accessible and safe for everyone is a top priority.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Let’s all help reduce traffic, cut down on emissions, and build a healthier community for everyone. We have amazing transit options in DC, but we want to know where the gaps are. How are you getting around DC this week?

000

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Whether you’re taking the Metro, hopping on a Capital Bikeshare, or riding the bus – ditch the car keys this week for this year’s DC #WeekWithoutDriving! 🚆🚴‍♀️🚌

I am incredibly honored to receive NEW’s Advocacy Award in recognition of our continuing partnership to uplift women and families in DC experiencing homelessness and help them transition to safe, stable housing.

000

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Breaking the cycle of homelessness requires more than temporary shelter – it demands a foundation of comprehensive support. New Endeavors by Women (NEW) provides this critical lifeline for women & kids experiencing homelessness by offering the resources needed to build brighter, independent futures.

100

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Our region lost more than 100,000 jobs last year. To create opportunity for our residents, DC has to be the best place in the country to start and grow a business. That means supporting our businesses and workers, filling Downtown vacancies, and attracting new high-growth industries.

000

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

My bill called the “Supporting Survivors of Domestic Violence and Abuse Amendment Act” is a critical tool to help reverse the dangerous trend and support survivors.

110

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Today, I am introducing a new bill to support survivors of domestic violence in DC that will: ✅ reduce violence ✅ increase survivor support ✅ protect victim privacy

100

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We have a crisis here in the District: domestic-violence related incidents are increasing in our communities, and we have to take action now to better protect our residents.

100

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Together, we are focused on creating more vibrant, mixed-use spaces that attract residents and visitors year-round.

000

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Downtown DC is the backbone of our local economy, and a thriving downtown supports financial stability across our entire city. I was honored to join the DowntownDC Foundation and discuss our vision for a prosperous downtown.

100

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The safety and well-being of all District residents must be prioritized.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Local DC leaders are committed to protecting our residents from the continued federal intrusion. Over the summer, I joined my colleagues on the Council to urge governors in other states to end the deployment of their National Guard forces in DC.

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I encourage residents to submit their testimony and share their experiences – we want to hear from you.

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We’ll also be discussing my bill, Councilmember Robert White’s bill, and Councilmember Janeese Lewis George’s bill which all center around transparency and accountability for the concerning presence we continue to see from federal officers in our city.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

and discuss available local legislative interventions we can to provide additional safety and oversight.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

As Chairwoman of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, I am holding a public hearing on November 5th that will allow DC residents to provide testimony about the ongoing federal presence in the District...

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This is wholly unacceptable and creates an atmosphere of fear and intimidation – the National Guard must keep its distance from our schools.

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Unfortunately, I continue to hear reports and deep concerns from parents, teachers, and students about the presence of National Guard troops near our schools and in residential areas, and it’s leading to understandable fear.

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I, along with my colleagues on the DC Council, the Mayor, and our DC Delegate, have insisted the National Guard troops stay away from our school zones. This is a request I have repeatedly made.

130

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We cannot have armed National Guards in or around our schools and young people. Our schools must remain welcoming environments of learning and growth, and spaces where all DC students, parents, and school staff can feel safe and can thrive.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, DC! It’s a time for us to honor the vibrant cultures, rich histories, and vital contributions of our Hispanic neighbors who enrich our city and drive DC forward every day.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

We must make sure we can build new housing, attract new investments, and reduce housing costs for DC residents. Having a housing ecosystem that is functioning properly and reliably is critical to that mission and this bill proposes important changes.

000

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I also joined the Housing Committee to hear testimony and question housing providers, tenant advocates, developers, and DC government housing officials about the Mayor’s proposed “Housing Investment Protection Act”.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I’m thrilled to be working with @cmnadeauoffice.bsky.social & the local businesses on creating a Duke Business Improvement District (BID) for these neighborhoods to support long-time businesses, better management of public space, & improve quality of life and services for our residents & visitors.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

We had a busy day of hearings for the DC Council today and I want to recap a few highlights for you. I joined the Committee on Transportation and the Environment hearing to discuss the importance of supporting businesses in the U Street and Shaw areas.

I was proud to introduce a resolution honoring the 160th anniversary of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church and celebrate this milestone with neighbors!

All DC residents deserve to have access to healthy food and recreational activities. The work that Building Bridges Across the River does every day to benefit our community, provide arts programming, & economic opportunities east of the Anacostia River is critical and I am thrilled to support them.
