DC has everything it needs to keep young people safe. We have the resources, the community partners, and the solutions. What is missing is the political courage to choose care instead of control. Our children deserve safety, joy, and a sense of belonging, not curfews and armed soldiers.
We’re demanding real safety rooted in community care:
• Remove National Guard & federal agents from youth spaces
• Fund late-night rec centers, arts, sports & cultural programs
• Community-based crisis response (not police)
• Accessible mental health care for youth
• Remove National Guard & federal agents from youth spaces
• Fund late-night rec centers, arts, sports & cultural programs
• Community-based crisis response (not police)

📚 Research from the Campbell Collaboration shows no meaningful decrease in youth crime.
Instead, curfews increase police contact, trauma, and surveillance of Black youth.
Curfews don’t keep kids safe.
