Black Mayors in Baltimore and Birmingham Drive Historic Drops in Crime via @WashInformer washingtoninformer.com/baltimore-birm… via @WashInformer

DCJusticeLab's tweet card. Baltimore and Birmingham are leading the way in public safety, thanks to record-breaking reductions in violent crime under the leadership of two Black mayors.

DC was among the first jurisdictions to eliminate cash bail in the early 1990s. As states look to our bail statute as the gold standard for improving public safety, it is important to perfect it and take the harmful provisions out. Now is the time to lead.

.@CMRobertWhiteDC, @CMLewisGeorgeW4, and @BrianneKNadeau were absolutely right to vote against this measure. We hope that between now and 2026 there will be a hearing in which everyone--including jail residents--can explain why all of the rebuttable presumptions must go.

At DC Council meeting @BrianneKNadeau tells a heartbreaking story illustrating how pretrial detention can ruin lives of people trying to get on the right path & @CMRobertWhiteDC shares hard data: pretrial detention makes us LESS safe, provokes MORE crime. There's no excuse to…

The D.C. Council’s votes today could advance real public safety, or they could double down on failed methods that don’t keep us safe from crime or from abuse of power. Here’s what we’re watching out for. 🧵 (1/4)
