In the famous words of Mr. John Lewis,
“When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something!”
The unaddressed mental health realities, repetitive gun violent tragedies, lack of culturally appropriate resourcing, and the continuance loss of life warrants that accountable leadership and oversights be implemented on the community level to help bridge the gap of the noticeable and evident systemic voids in effective community programming and services across communities of color in D.C. Join the Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition as we celebrate the birth of the Capital City Emergency “Level II” Trauma & Wellness Center slated to be built in Ward 8 S.E. by the Spring of 2023 with a “state of the art” community outreach hub.
