We are inspired by our students! This afternoon, they marched and stepped in support of 202 for Peace at the Ward 7 walk and resource pop-up. Their voices matter and serve as motivation in our commitment to make the city safer.



It was a successful multiagency taskforce walk in Ward 8 yesterday along the South Capitol Street corridor. Thanks to our partners, including summer interns from @dcfireems, for their work engaging with residents and sharing information on District programs and services.
