On October 18, 2021, De’Andre Johnson’s life was stolen by MPD cop Juwan Jefferson, the same cop who took the life of Eric Carter on September 16, 2019. To all of his family, De’Andre was the glue. He was also a father, warrior, and protector. His life mattered.

MPD’s core practices are poisoned with racial bias. Black folks make up 40% of DC, but account for over 70% of all stops in 2022 & 2023 and less than 1% of these stops recovered firearms. More cops, no measurable gains in safety.

The issue is about preserving the Sanctuary Values Act (critical harm reduction) and MPD’s very particular collaboration with ICE and the impact to our folks in DC.
Words mean things. Being “principled” isn’t an organizing catch phrase. Abolition isn’t just about cops.
