Dear Ward 8 Residents,

Last week, we completed a second round of discussion for residents and nonprofit organizations that requested more access to resources and grant information. I am pleased with the turnout and look forward to hosting more sessions in the future.

This week, my focus continues to be on Performance Oversight of the various government agencies. I encourage residents to take advantage of the virtual hearing platform and watch a performance oversight meeting this month.

I look forward to serving the residents of Ward 8, please continue to stay safe.

Regards,

Trayon White, Sr.

D.C. Council member Trayon White’s request nearly two weeks ago for a state of emergency to address a stubborn surge in homicides has drawn widespread support from city leaders and residents who now are wondering how to solve the problem.

“We have to declare a state of emergency when it comes to crime and violence,” White said on Jan. 29 to 30 people at a news conference at the R.I.S.E. Demonstration Center in Ward 8. “We are burying our children. Something has to be done about the record number of shootings and homicides in the District.”

White, a Democrat, wants D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to declare a state of emergency and to create a commission to address gun violence in the District and how to put an end to it.
