Did you know there is a kooky proposal to provide a 9:1 match to local political candidates using the general fund so fringe and unpopular candidates can fund their campaigns? Ann Arbor, Vote NO in Nov. on Prop D. citizensforfiscalresponsibil…

What happens when a super majority of women and the most diverse Council in Ann Arbor history is elected? Sadly, some organize to change the rules. Vote NO in November on Prop C. and please Donate. Knock doors. Combat misinformation. democratsforannarbor.com/hom…

Biking is always a good way to start the day, but especially fun on “bike to wherever” day. Thanks for the treats, fun connections and conversations, and impromptu meetups. @DharmaAkmon @A2GOV @A2DDA @WBWCgo @getdowntown @HumanElectricHy @ArgusFarmStop #MyA2Commute

Happy Bike to Work Week! Though biking to work is great all year long, it’s especially pleasant when the spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining.

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t particularly excited to head out on bike today for a quick trip to Argus. But I was glad I did as soon as I got out the door. Fresh air, a beautiful winter wonderland, and a happy body awaited me. #conquerthecold #shoplocal

Packed house tonight. Around 150 present to oppose MDOT Rail’s proposal to fence off the railroad to ostensibly improve pedestrian safety, with zero investments to improve pedestrian access under/over railroad and no accommodations for wildlife. No thanks MDOT.

But the reality is we have SO much more to do on #a2council. I’m running for re-election in 2024 because the really tough work lies ahead. Let’s do it together. secure.actblue.com/donate/er… (3 of 3)

We’ve substantially increased funding for nonmotorized transportation and climate action, enacted major land use and criminal legal reforms, increased support for social service providers, hired a highly capable Administrator, +++(2 of 3)

In 2020 I ran for #a2council because I saw a dysfunctional Council that was systematically standing in the way of progressive policy. We’ve made so much progress in the last 2.5 years. (1 of 3)

I was excited to co-sponsor this important ordinance change initiated by Councilmember Harrison. And I’m so thankful to the many residents and individuals who came forward to share their personal stories to reinforce how impactful and necessary this reform is for our community.
What started as a murmur ended in a roar and celebration for justice with last night’s #a2council vote for my Driving Equality Ordinance. Community gave voice to racial realities, we responded by re-prioritizing police work. Rest in power Philando Castile. mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/202…

I was elected to A2 City Council in November 2020, here's a summary of some of the highlights of the last two years. What should our focus be over the next two? ericafora2.com/news/briggs/m…

In a less closely watched competition, but also quite riveting, our household bike (Erica) vs. car race (Don/Kai) to the game also had a celebratory end. Bikes for the win. #gobike #conquerthecold

Picked up some groceries, stocked up on cat food at the pet store, went to the hair salon, got some exercise, reduced my GHG emissions, and earned points for Ward 5… all on bike. A pretty good morning. #conquerthecold #beatward4 #jointhecoolkids

Tribar Hex Chromium / Huron River Update: 1) Continued sampling data at the Wixom WWTP has reinforced EGLE’s calculation and expectation that the amount of material release into the environment was less than 20 pounds (down from an initial assumption of 8000 pounds). 1/
