Yesterday the council passed the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement Education and Responsibility Amendment Act (STEER ACT) with a 12-0 vote. Here is my statement regarding its passage.

We recently convened a meeting on the Enhancing School Safety Bill. My position is that we must take enhanced measures to protect our children at school, which requires a proactive approach to safety and not just a reactive approach.

Four years ago we built a movement. I’m determined to follow through on the work we started.

Today I am proud to announce my campaign for re-election as Ward 4 councilmember. We’ve accomplished an enormous amount and have more left to do. I’m committed to doing that together.

Clean air is a critical aspect of public safety. This cannot be overlooked. Thank you for the opportunity @EJForum ✊🏿

Calling out to all women of COLOR SPECIFICALLY and women in general to take a STRONG stand in being vocal in changing this activity! Our younger generation need to be exposed to a more positive and dignified example of womanhood and it can only stop if we do ALL we can to STOP THE MADNESS!!!

A key component of my public safety platform in my campaign for City Council, is improving the city's continuum of care for sexual assault survivors.  

Sexual assault occurs every 68 seconds in the United States. In the aftermath of a sexual assault, the survivor's body becomes part of the crime scene. A medical professional can examine a survivor's entire body for DNA evidence left behind by the perpetrator. This is if the survivor reports the assault to the police. Physical evidence recovery kits, or rape kits, preserve physical evidence and may contain DNA evidence that can be used to prevent and solve future sexual assaults.

In accordance with Bill 25 - 0348 Ensuring Safe Forensic Evidence Handling for Sexual Assault Survivors Amendment Act of 2023, the Department of Forensic Sciences, in collaboration with the District of Columbia Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Program, must develop and implement a protocol for receiving and storing anonymous kits. This includes developing a notification system for anonymous kits. This notates whether kits are received by mail or delivery, documents the chain of custody, and maintains survivor anonymity.

You can play an important role in protecting survivors and holding perpetrators accountable. Please sign and send a letter to city council requesting these important safety improvements.

I am pleased to see @DDOTDC out in the field this morning implementing traffic calming measures on Wheeler Road. It was my recommendation to DDOT in 2021 to improve the infrastructure along this corridor.

Please do not be misled by the hype. We have a number of community members who are concerned about traffic safety and are willing to take action to ensure it. While we are at it, let us also address the elephant in the room.

Gentrification and displacement do not occur as a result of traffic safety. Public safety is directly related to traffic safety. The implementation of traffic calming measures in this community can reduce the number of life-threatening incidents that occur there so frequently. Unfortunately, no one else who was in a position to make changes took the initiative to do so.

In my role as a commissioner, I made this a priority; as a councilman, I will do even more.

RT @salimadofo: This is why air quality Eats of the River is important.

[Salim Adofo @salimadofo]

People that live East of the River actually do care about the environment. We actually want clean air. It’s a human right.

Sometimes when you’re upset, you just need to breathe some fresh air to calm down.

The issue of air quality is one of public safety, public health, environmental justice, and transportation.

All of these issues can be addressed simultaneously by improving residents' access to electric vehicle infrastructure.

Sign on here to tell @councilofdc to pass Bill 25-0106 - Comprehensive Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Access, Readiness, and Sustainability Amendment Act of 2023. #DCision24 #VoteSalim #WeAreWard8 #TeamSalim #AStandardOfExcellence
