In 2020, @charlesallen championed some of the most anti-police legislation in the country. Since then, over 1,300 officers have left the MPD. Tell @councilofdc to repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act NOW! Visit to take action.

One issue that is not rebuttable in the @recallallen discussion, is that for two+ years, Allen did everything he possibly could to drastically shrink the size and scope of MPD. He was very successful in doing so proven by our current 50-year low in staffing numbers.

Our office prosecutes juveniles and holds them accountable when they break the law. But prosecution takes place after a crime has already occurred. To truly make the District safer, we must also work to stop crime from happening in the first place.
