We Can Mitigate Harms
Let's follow what is happening on the Hill and then inform our neighbors, bolster our local government, and design tactics for resistance.
we are making playbooks
Join one of our committees to help track how we may be affected, inform the public of potential affects through town halls and educational presentations, examine tactics that can help protect what may be lost.
This regime has a 984-page document detailing the changes they are implementing. We are at risk from this agenda.
Let’s inform ourselves and our neighbors of possible risks.
We are forming committees around different topics to determine what is at risk and how we can protect our local values if our laws are changed.
Nobody has all of the answers, but coming together to brainstorm and stand united will help us mitigate a lot of harm.
Current committees
The committees are working to bring together interested parties across the city to inform DC Citizens of possible impacts to their daily lives and provide connections for how to get involved. We will also brainstorm tactics on how we can make decisions in our everyday lives, that may help maintain the status quo and not backslide to lose progress.
We are evaluating govt action
With each potential risk, we are evaluating if our local government will be able to take action to protect the status quo. In some situations, yes; in others, no. We will coordinate action to encourage our government to step in and mitigate harms where possible.
We are collaborating with others
We are helping identify the key players in each field and work with them to enact strategies to keep DC safe. Help us build our network.
