This is Ward 4's 20th shooting in less than 3 months. Those numbers are irrefutable: @brandonttodd’s leadership and his approach to community safety is not working. (1/x) https://twitter.com/petworthdcnews/status/1265135328509276161

Given my experience in public safety, these shootings appear to be retaliatory in nature. That is why Ward 4 needs CURE violence interrupters on the ground, DPR Roving Leaders on sight, and Pathways wrap-around services being provided in targeted areas. (2/x)

I wrote about this issue back in March and my comments still stand:

These violence prevention programs WORK but they’ve been cut or zeroed out in Mayor Bowser’s FY21 budget. You can sign up to testify about the budget next month and tell the mayor you want these programs funded: https://dccouncil.us/2019-2020-performance-oversight-fy-2021-budget-schedules/ (4/x)

And the other way you can take action is to VOTE. Polls are open right now for you to vote for a leader who has a real, evidence-based plan to finally curb violence in Ward 4 and put people first. More info about how to vote: http://janeese4dc.com/vote . #DCision2020 (5/5)
