It was an honor to help distribute direct support to Richmonders this morning. Each check coming out of the Family Crisis Fund is an investment in our city’s future. Proud of @RVAWealthBuild for making this happen and working each and every day to eradicate generational poverty. https://t.co/8KkmicDNP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I presented our roadmap for reimagining public safety to #rvacouncil. From a civilian review board to the #marcusalert, the path ahead requires everyone to have a seat at the table. Check out the memo here ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has disproportionately impacted Black & brown Richmonders. That truth extends to housing. This $6M investment will keep Richmonders in their homes, a paramount need during a pandemic AND a standard we should strive to meet all the time. #RVAStrong #1RVA — PolitiTweet.org

I, like many other Black men in America, have heard the words “you fit the description” after being wrongly identified & told to put my hands on the hood. Take a moment to read my op-ed in @RTDNEWS on our mission to turn this shared pain into progress. https://t.co/E770b2b6i9 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Becoming a father at 19 isn’t easy. My Dad and I grew up together. He taught me how to be a proud Black man. He wasn’t perfect but he loved me and I loved him back. While this is my ninth Father’s Day without him I’m sad but also very proud to be his son. 🙏🏾 #fathersday https://t.co/aHJcLcOvvL — PolitiTweet.org

This #Juneteenth2020 I pledge to keep fighting the legacy of slavery and celebrate how far we’ve come in that struggle. Happy Freedom Day! ✊🏿 https://t.co/1IDlNmxcSE — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Today, I sent a letter to Council President Newbille asking City Council to reschedule the cancelled Public Safety Committee meeting next week. We can’t wait to start the important work we’ve committed to. See full letter ⬇️ https://t.co/GzUdzSThAq — PolitiTweet.org

President @BarackObama, Richmond's up to the challenge. I've signed the Mayor Pledge, committing to a full review of the police department's use of force policies.

I loved spending this rainy Wednesday reading and chatting with our brilliant @rps_schools scholars. Learned how to foster an idea with the Linwood Lions and practiced my Spanish with the GH Reid Ravens! #RVAStrong https://t.co/HVvzzsVFWK — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Which is why I'm creating the Richmond Task Force on Reimagining Public Safety. It will have 90 days to make actionable recommendations for reform & systems change, inclusive of community voices & using a restorative justice framework. More details to follow soon. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

We're reviewing police policies, procedures & practices for immediate changes, like strengthening the duty to intervene and anti-chokehold policies. But one-off policies aren't enough. We have to have the tough conversations on what equitable public safety should look like. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

We need a citizen review board independent of RPD that gives voice to the entire community. I'm asking #rvacouncil to collaborate with my administration, city residents and community organizers on the front end to develop legislation that meets this need. 1/3 https://t.co/8lPa8pPcjr — PolitiTweet.org

While the investigation is underway, I have instructed the Richmond Police Department to place the officer involved on administrative leave pending the result of the investigation by the Commonwealth’s Attorney. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

I believe that last night’s incident requires a full investigation. I have spoken with the Commonwealth’s Attorney and have requested she investigate and expedite this review, along with several other cases from the past two weeks. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

I saw the barriers my father faced getting a job with a felony on his record, and I see them plague Black people disproportionately today. To be truly anti-racist, #VAleg must prioritize enacting expungement legislation in any upcoming special session. https://t.co/9bH5wSOd10 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Jefferson Davis is gone this morning, but it’s going to be a lot harder to dismantle the racism he and his peers embodied and institutionalized. That’s what this city will keep working toward. #1RVA 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org
