You were never “just being paranoid”, “reading too much into it”, “unpatriotic”, or ”angry for no reason”. There was never “some likely cause for it”. You should never have had to “get over it”. It was never “a long time ago”. You were right - and Black Lives Have ALWAYS Mattered

@CMBrandonTodd’s Virtual Public Safety Meeting was well attended by key decision-makers. Patrol Chief Greene, Cmdr Griffin, @SafeDC Deputy Mayor Donahue, @ChiefNewsham, Petworth Action Cmte, ANCs, and residents (the true VIPs!) Check Ward4 Council website for Q&A from the call.
Looking forward to the pop up stations, foot patrols, bike patrols, and more opportunities to develop relationships with the officers that serve our community.

Summer school is likely still a go! May be distance learning. Details from ReOpen DC Task Force.
@ForOleary shared that students will be able to keep loaner computers over the summer. Grades can’t drop lower than Term 3 but they can improve!
Weekday meals @RooseveltHSDC. Kudos!
@Vote4DC Please consider these improvements to vote4dc.com/ApplyInstruction…
1. Make it obvious that this is the actual online request form. It’s not clear until you reach the bottom of the page — after tons of text.
3. Please consider new language for the @Vote4DC application button. “Save and Next” does not indicate its purpose. “Request Mail-In Ballot” makes the call-to-action clearer.
These are recommendations for small, easy U/X changes that may improve the voter experience and participation. I’m happy to discuss further, if there is interest.
