At DC Justice Lab, we believe transforming DC’s approach to public safety requires collaboration, especially with those most impacted by the harmful policies and systems currently in place. By centering community leadership and sustaining investments in research, advocacy, and policy change, we work toward a DC that is safer, more equitable, and more just for all, including Black residents who have been disproportionately impacted by these systems.
