Friend,

Discriminatory federal actions are directly impacting the safety of
marginalized communities across the country and here in DC. In our own
community, we've seen anti-Muslim harassment on the rise. Just a few months
ago, America's first Somali lawmaker was harassed and called "ISIS"

in a DC cab.

*And when Muslim communities are under attack, DC fights back.*

Today, working with a coalition of local advocates convened by CASS, CM
Brianne Nadeau introduced the Street Harassment Prevention Act to tackle
street harassment on a citywide level. Here’s what it’ll do:

   - *Establish an Advisory Committee on Street Harassment* with expertise
   in public safety, gender-based violence, racial and religious
   discrimination, queer and trans rights, immigrants’ rights, and
   homelessness;
   - *Collect data* on street harassment and the ways it affects different
   marginalized communities; and
   - *Develop best practice policies* for DC agencies to recognize and
   respond to street harassment.

Thank you, Councilmember Nadeau and co-sponsors CMs David Grosso, Charles
Allen, Robert White, Trayon White, Elissa Silverman, and Jack Evans, for
introducing this comprehensive legislation that aims to address street
harassment in an intersectional way!

Let’s take this movement citywide,

Jessica Raven
Executive Director

P.S.*Retweet our thank you message to CM Nadeau for taking steps to make DC
safer for everyone!
