In these times, it is crucial that organizations that protect Washington, D.C. residents’ fundamental freedoms from overreach and any occupying force are robustly funded.
These organizations have been at the forefront of establishing community safety in the District by being present in the communities of highest need and intervening before a crime occurs.
These organizations support adult and youth criminal justice policy, understand the data around crime, and guard against rhetoric that vilifies youth.
They deserve our investments. And they need it right now more than ever.
