CCE is #hiring a Policy Director! Want to leverage your knowledge of D.C.’s legal systems to lead strategic, equitable, & community-centered research & advocacy work? Are you an experienced manager with a great sense of humor? If so, join our amazing team: courtexcellence.org/who-we-are/car…
📢CCE is also #hiring a Policy & Education Associate to support our justice education work. Do you want to develop guides, tools, & events to keep people in DC informed about laws & rules that affect their lives & empower them become advocates for change? courtexcellence.org/who-we-are/car…
Today CCE published a new report that analyzes the functioning of local criminal legal systems in D.C., including support for returning citizens and youth, police accountability, and judicial vacancies. Read our report and learn more: courtexcellence.org/news-events/ne…
.@councilofdc you can't arrest our way out of societal problems.Where is the emergency legislation to invest in families, communities,mental health, housing, alcohol & other drug services to prevent crime? Detention is not prevention. @CMBrookePinto legislation can lead to death.
In early 2022, our District Task Force on Jails & Justice made 77 recommendations to improve DC's #criminaljustice administration over the next 10 years. Our new progress report shows 47% have not been implemented - or have even begun to be implemented. buff.ly/3prqAI3
CCE is proud to serve as the convener of the District Task Force on Jails & Justice. We hope that DC leaders use this report card & the Task Force's recommendations as a roadmap to enacting evidence-based, community-led reforms to advance public safety. courtexcellence.org/news-events/Ta…
Today @CCE_for_DC released a New Report Card on the implementation of @DCjails_justice recommendations provided to the DC Gov in Feb 2021. The Task Force found that only 2% (2/77) of them were fully implemented... courtexcellence.org/news-events/Ta…
The Mayor and D.C. Council need to take a hard look at the recommendations made by the Task Force. There are more than 70 concrete suggestions here to make D.C.'s criminal legal system fairer, more equitable, and ultimately make the District safer.

Do we have to say it? In 2023, a largely white & male political body has subjected it's own will onto a group of 713,000 residents, the majority of whom are Black & Latino. Colonialism is still alive & well, lording over the District of Columbia. @RepDonBeyer nails it @wusa9

BREAKING: The House has voted in favor of blocking two D.C. bills. It will go to the Senate next. We’ll say it again: LET D.C. GOVERN OURSELVES. We are MORE than capable, and we need these changes to our outdated criminal code.
“I can only conclude that the Republican leadership believes D.C. residents, the majority of whom are Black and Brown, are unworthy or uncapable of governing themselves.” —@EleanorNorton Reps leading this bill are anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, & pro-cop. That has no place here.

🚨 URGENT: DC judge shortage 25% of DC's judge seats remain unfilled—a crisis that can only be addressed by the #USSenate. We’ve called on @SenateFloor to confirm the 8 pending nominees before the end of this Congress. The District can't wait any longer! buff.ly/3FEHAzO
ICYMI: We dropped our annual report detailing the landscape of independent abortion clinics across the U.S. Learn why we MUST keep clinics’ doors open, so they can continue providing essential health care to everyone who needs it. Full report here: communitiesneedclinics.com
It's #GivingTuesday! A donation to CCE is a gift to the #DC community. With your support, CCE can continue to advance policy, conduct research, educate the community, and uplift community voices advocating for equity within our justice system. Donate: buff.ly/3hM4Cvg
