@GovOperationsDC @CMBrandonTodd Awesome!! It’s going to be a good day! Let’s be sure to extend the Racial Equity training that will be required of DC employees to include ANC Commissioners. It is ESSENTIAL at this level of leadership.

The virtual meeting with @DCDPR #Ready2Play was amazing! JOIN ONE to help shape the future of parks, rec centers, programs in DC. All-Spanish available too! I ❤️ how DC loops regular folks into Master Plan & Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan https://t.co/jTiLKO82VH

ANC4C passed a budget request to fund bias training, translation & interpretation, & childcare for ANCs.

@RobertWhite_DC Let’s train Commissioners to see our biases & seek racial equity. Let’s make ANC meetings multilingual, accessible, & family friendly. 🤗 #dcbudgethearings

Restrictions have been lifted to let ANCs make grants to orgs that provide humanitarian relief in response to COVID19.

@ANC4C just granted $2k to the Leadership Council for Healthy Communities and $4k to Uptown Main Streets for cmty/biz outreach & PPE. https://t.co/W5dzB8rvIy 🤩

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

Patrol Chief Greene urged residents to make their voices heard about lack of follow-through after MPD takes defendants into custody - so repeat offenders have real consequences (I’m paraphrasing).

[Tearsa Coates @tearsacoates]

@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.

[Tearsa Coates @tearsacoates]

Looking forward to the pop up stations, foot patrols, bike patrols, and more opportunities to develop relationships with the officers that serve our community.
