@laurenbpoe got stopped by a nasty sheriff in forest ridge this morning who wanted to make sure i knew i was walking on the wrong side of the road. could think about approx 1000 ways he could have done it nicer or more meaningful. who is this guy? he needs some training.

Eye-opening data by @dcpolicycenter illustrating children’s proximity to homicides across the city. How can we expect kids to cope, let alone thrive, under these conditions? Evidence-based, community-led violence intervention is the fastest way to stop shootings & heal trauma.
