Eckington Community Meeting With DASH Tonight 7/1/12


Dear Community Members:
In the wake of the recent random act of violence perpetrated against our neighbors, the District Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH) is hosting a meeting to provide an update on the status of the investigation, as well as answer any questions and concerns from the community.  The meeting will be onWednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7 PM.  We will also be joined by Capt. Wilfredo Manlapaz and Lt. RonWright from the 5th District MPD, along with a representative from the MPD's Gay Lesbian Liaison unit, and ANC Commissioner Tim Clark. 

DASH's mission is to provide access to safe housing and services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their families in DC as they rebuild their lives on their own terms. In addition to our longstanding work against violence, we are also members of this community, and this neighborhood.  That's why this crime is particularly alarming to us.  And it's why we are committed to offering support, guidance and resources to assist our community in responding to this violence.

For the exact address, please RSVP to info@... or call at 202-462-3274 ext.122 to rsvp (leave a message and someone will return your call).  RSVPs are required because space is limited and the DASH facility is a high security building.  All community members are welcome.
