Neighbors:

On Monday, June 12th from 6:30-7:30pm at Mott's Market, we will host Councilmember Charles Allen for a forward-looking discussion about the rise in crime in our neighborhood. ?Please join us then to listen, to ask questions, and to share your ideas. ?

A few more details (action items/requests for help in bold):

1. Per neighbor suggestion, Councilmember Allen is reaching out to Commander Bryant to make sure that MPD leadership is present and engaged.? He is also reaching out to the ANC.? We are also working to have representation from the DC Office of the Attorney General (which prosecutes crime) as well. ?Some neighbors have suggested inviting Peter Bug.? Can someone who has a strong relationship with him volunteer to invite him?

2. I realize that not everyone can make it on the 12th.? This is the only time open on Allen's schedule for the next several weeks. If you know you cannot attend and want to share a message or thought, we'll find a way. ?

3. Thanks to Mott's Market for hosting this event.? Allen has asked us to meet inside Mott's so that those who want to share personal stories feel more comfortable, etc.? Given space restrictions, I think it is best to consider this a meeting for those served by the three listservs receiving this message (that is, roughly the two-block radius around Mott's).

4. If anyone can help me and Michael Skinner get chairs to and from the event, or if you have access to a large number of chairs within walking distance, please let me know.

5. Allen's office asked me to moderate the event.? I am happy to defer to someone with more standing, but I agreed to do this in the?interest of moving things forward.? As the conversation approaches, I ask that our questions and ideas push us toward better solutions rather than emotional release, and that our language/actions confirm that every law-abiding citizen (of all ages, races, etc.) is welcome in our neighborhood.??

I will send more information as the 12th approaches.? Please send me a direct message if you have feedback or a question. ?

Thanks, everyone.? I know this event won't be perfect or solve every challenge.? But if we work together I'm hopeful we can make all of our?neighbors safer. ?
