Subject: The Movement DC - please share with Bloomingdale listserv
Good evening Mr. Roberts,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Deanna
Santoro and I am also a member of the ANC5E community. I have been speaking
with Commissioner Holliday about an organization with which I work with, and
she suggested I email you about sharing our information with the Bloomingdale
listserv in light of recent concerns in Bloomingdale about the MPD. Attached is
a flyer about The Movement DC you can share with the Bloomingdale community. In
sum, The Movement is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that advocates
for civic engagement in local government.
We are currently working on a campaign to advocate for
a DC Police Chief who reflects DC's values. On Thursday, Mayor Bowser
nominated Interim Police Chief Newsham for the position of Police Chief. The
nomination of a Police Chief must be confirmed by the DC council, so local
engagement on his confirmation is important for our communities. Personally, I
do not believe that Interim Police Chief Newsham has a history of the
nonviolent treatment of protesters and am concerned about his confirmation (see
link below for details). The Movement DC plans to advocate that the DC City
Council vote against his confirmation. Would you be interested in joining our
cause?
Thank you for connecting our communities and promoting
civic engagement through our listserv. I look forward to hearing from you and
possibly collaborating moving forward.
Your neighbor,
Deanna Santoro
