TUNE IN at 5pm today as I testify at OAG’s Budget Oversight Hearing about proposals that will help our office increase public safety and save the District money: dc.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph…
This is a difficult time for us all.

#COVID19 has taken hundreds of our neighbors and put substantial financial strain on businesses, workers, and the District’s coffers.

Our office stands ready to continue to protect DC residents and help the District save money.
In FY 2019, OAG recovered over $10.8 million in settlements and contributed an additional $184.1 million in tax revenue preserved and collections for District children.

Our office generates and saves revenue, a critical element while we contend with a significant budget deficit.

My heart breaks for the family and friends of Clarence Venable, the #CuretheStreets violence interrupter whose life was cut short yesterday.

Clarence was dedicated to reducing gun violence in DC, and we must honor him with action by continuing the work of making our city safer.
Today, I was out in #Ward8 talking with District residents about how our office and @ONSEDC_ are using violence interruption programs to help reduce violence and enhance public safety. Image
@ONSEDC_ OAG's #CuretheStreets violence interruption program treats violence like a disease and works to interrupt it, treat it, and stop it from spreading.

Last month we announced this pilot program is expanding to 4 new sites that have high levels of violence: bit.ly/31pBegj

One way to make DC safer is to try innovative ideas to stop violence.

This week OAG announced an expansion of our violence interruption program called #CuretheStreets. This program treats violence like a disease and works to interrupt it, treat it, and stop it from spreading.
#CuretheStreets will be expanding to four new locations that experience high levels of violence:

@FarSECollab (operating two sites in #Ward8)
@ACM_DC (operating one site in #Ward7)
✅Father Factor Inc. (operating one in #Ward5)
@FarSECollab @ACM_DC The specific locations of the new sites will be announced in the coming weeks.

Learn more about this expansion and how you can find the latest details: bit.ly/31pBegj
