Dr. Love asks, "How does a Black or Brown child live, learn, and grow when their spirit is under attack at school, and their body is in danger inside the classroom?" This is why youth development programs matter- we invest in youth in ways unmet in classroom spaces, alone

One of our graduating seniors, Daija Tucker, just went to her Hollywood-themed senior prom at #benjaminbanneker. We're praying that tonight is fun & safe at the Camelot for all involved.
Love you @_livingmehhlife_ 💋

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie The language of the Racial Equity Achieves Results Act must be strengthened  to include racial equity as a component of employee work plans and performance evaluations, especially for managers and leadership #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie The Racial Equity Achieves Results Act should require broad and extensive community engagement by @CouncilofDC & DC Agencies during design, planning, and implementation #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie The Racial Equity Achieves Results Act must be amended to require ALL DC Agency employees to participate in Racial Equity Training; in addition, the training must be ongoing, not a one shot deal#RacialEquityDC

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie The Racial Equity Assessment of the Racial Equity Achieves Results Act should be conducted by an independent body, such as the Office of the Inspector General #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie Racial equity assessments in the Racial Equity Achieves Results Act should be used for both existing and proposed policies and practices. #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie All bills before the DC Council should be accompanied by racial impact statements, in the same way that fiscal impact statements are included @CouncilofDC #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd .@CM_McDuffie Racial equity assessments are a best practice that should be used prior to adopting legislation or implementing policy proposals. @CouncilofDC #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

@CMBrandonTodd @CM_McDuffie To be effective, it's critical that the Racial Equity Achieves Results Act be amended to apply to ALL branches of DC Government, including the @CouncilofDC #RacialEquityDC

[Promising Futures @PrmsngFtres]

Thank you, @CM_McDuffie  for your leadership in introducing the Racial Equity Achieves Results Act and taking a critical step toward addressing racial inequities within and by the DC government!#RacialEquityDC
