Not-So-Mean Streets
If you’ve been in D.C. for more than six months, you’re probably no more than a couple of degrees separated from someone involved in a mugging, burglary or break-in. But there are things we can do to make our streets safer.
This Saturday, Jan. 25, Mayor Tony Williams is sponsoring a forum on crime and prevention, "Building Partnerships for Safer Neighborhoods," at Eastern Senior High School, 1700 East Capitol St. NE, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Appearing with the Mayor will be D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Chief Charles Ramsey and other police officials. The crime forum will feature interactive break-out sessions, one-on-one discussions with police commanders, an onsite crime-reporting Command Center, and a Crime Prevention Marketplace, which will give citizens the opportunity to explore new ideas and work on solutions with the police department to reduce crime in our city.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
