Make your feelings on the bill known not only to your CM but also Mendelson and the AL members who represent all of us.

These measures all seem destined to land more Black children in prison.

We all know these kids grew up in under-resourced communities, and were never given the opportunities they deserved growing up.  Prison is not going to make their lives better. [/quote]

And letting them off without any sort of punishment or rehabilitation -- which is exactly what's happening now -- is not going to make anyone else's lives better. [/quote]

What about the other black children in these neighborhoods deserving to grow up in a safe community? I live in a majority black neighborhood and everyone is concerned about crime and safety.[/quote]

+2 when I see comments on IG and Twitter on various DC crime stories the people most concerned about crime, especially violent crime, are black and they are really fearing for their safety. [/quote]

Yes, for many of us in this city, this isn’t a philosophical debate. The current crime policies are life and death. [/quote]

So true.[/quote]
