Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition “dba” Healthy DMV & Me Leadership Coalition, in Maryland, releases their “Palms Up” Community Outreach “Report Card” for all eight (8) Wards of the District of Columbia.
(Washington, D.C. ) – The Healthy DC and Me Leadership Coalition, 501 C3 Mental Health Advocates, spearheaded by former D.C. Mayoral candidate Dr. Rhonda L. Hamilton, supported by many local affiliate community leaders to include Bowie State University “research” personnel, Healthy DC advisors, District professionals of psychology, and addiction, remain concerned with the presence of the on-going social economic decline of marginalized, and low-income families in the Nation’s Capital. The existent housing, labor, healthcare, and educational realities for these individuals continue to negatively be impacted under the current D.C. Council, and Mayor Bower’s policies and public safety failures. The lack of proper oversight and accountability for All DC citizens’ mental wellness implications must be respected, and adhered to, not diminished, or ignored by DC elected, appointed, agencies, and officials as continually being reported by DC citizens.
There is a clear link that exists between social and economic inequality, and poor mental health, as well as the ongoing gun violence epidemic in the Washington, DC area. As a measure of oversight from the community level and representations, former Mayoral candidate Dr. Hamilton is committed to holding Mayor Bowser, members of the DC Council, all applicable officials, and agencies accountable for the low standards of living that far too many District residents and citizens continue to be plagued by, with slow or no ending in sight.
Former District Mayoral candidate Dr. Hamilton and the Healthy DC Leadership invite members of the general public with a vested interest in “SAVING DC” to circulate the following “community report card “link to DC citizens across all eight (8) Wards of the District, in a “unified” effort to help to hold All District officials and agencies accountable to the citizens of the District of Columbia. Tune-in to the Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition’s “Palms Up” Community “Virtual” broadcast every Tuesday, at 7PM, to follow Dr. Hamilton and the Coalition’s continued push to raise the “living and economic” standards, as well as the mental wellness of All District citizens by ensuring the amplification of valid and ongoing citizen concerns on our ‘Palms Up” broadcast’s community platform. Add your voice to our “community report card”, and we’ll send a community represented, “notice of action” to the Mayor, applicable members of the Council, Media, Office of Attorney General, Chief of Police, and all relevant agency Chiefs , each month until positive solutions are achieved for the District resident(s), and/or the community involved!
