Muriel Bowser, mayor of the District of Columbia, wanted to give thanks on Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving Day) by delivering packages of a special food for that day, during an annual event held on the eve (November 23) whose theme is Safeway Feast of Sharing.
“I am grateful to lead a city as dynamic and inclusive as Washington, DC. I am more grateful than ever to live in and lead a city that is always shoulder to shoulder led and upholds our DC values,” said Bowser.
The mayor acknowledged that the world, the country and the city that she leads has gone through a lot in the past three years and that they are still learning and understanding that all the ways of our lives and those of the communities have changed.
Bowser added that no matter what changes they face, they will always stand united and called for unity in rejecting hateful and dangerous ideologies such as anti-Semitism, racism, anti-LGBTQ, attacks on women’s rights, which are sweeping this country.
“Together we will fight to end the gun violence that is terrorizing our country and stealing the lives of our young people; we will be united in believing that it is always possible to do more good for more people,” she stressed.
Bowser has highlighted some important accomplishments in his management in this year 2022. One of them is the opening of a new hospital in District 8, the enrollment of more than 98,000 students in public schools in the city and the opening of the first supermarket in the east of the Anacostia River in 15 years.
He also indicated that COVID Centers in the city’s eight boroughs continue to vaccinate people against the flu and Covid, so that everyone can have a good return to traditional gatherings, which were lacking in 2020 and 2021.
