Tool: Know Your Rights
Posted April 1, 2024
✊🏽 The new Secure DC law will be used by MPD and other agencies to target more people based on an officers bias and assumptions. We created this Know Your Rights (KYR) tool for DC residents and visitors to know what they're protected from when engaging with police.

From Advancement Project: Is DC’s Crimnibus really about OUR safety? NO! The Crimnibus not only gives unchecked power to police, it revives old, ineffective and racist practices that harms Black and brown communities.

No Legislative Loopholes
NEW With only 1 business day ahead of the vote, CM Pinto has introduced versions of the crimnibus that would bypass public input and the budget process. This would make many provisions in Secure DC go into effect within 1 month. Tell Council to Vote NO on the Emergency bill and focus on amendments instead!
