2/ Here’s the thing: our city needs high-quality, community-directed violence prevention. When I co-led the City’s Community Safety Working Group after the murder of George Floyd, we made recommendations about how to make sure these groups are both successful and accountable.

3/ Those recommendations included training, technical assistance, and measurable deliverables. We knew that these programs would only be successful if the Mayor’s Office worked collaboratively and thoughtfully.

But that hasn’t happened.

4/ The Mayor’s Office is trying to position this as a demonstration of accountability, but it never should have gotten to this point. Clawing back funds after the fact or canceling contracts after public scrutiny isn’t the type of accountability we deserve.

5/ Our city deserves collaborative good governance that recognizes the power of community. With more than 20 years of policy experience and more than a decade of building deep relationships with communities most impacted by violence (including my own), I have what it takes to make that happen.
