> No Recall in Ward 6 is a grassroots campaign, stepping up to stop an expensive effort to recall Charles Allen as our councilmember.
>  
> Public safety is Charles Allen?s top priority, despite what propaganda you may hear. He expanded the Metropolitan Police Department?s (MPD) police cadet pipeline, established a $25,000 signing bonus for new police officers, and led the DC Council in approving MPD budgets over $500 million per year. He also passed laws to ban ?ghost guns,? increased penalties of dangerous automatic weapons, created DC ?Red Flag law? to get guns off the street, and established the first Office of Gen Violence Prevention.
>  
> He's also leading efforts to save Metro, get dangerous drivers off our streets and make government more transparent and accountable. He?s secured nearly $1 billion to modernize Ward 6 schools, parks, libraries, and recreation centers.
>  
> A recall is a waste of time and money. Forcing all DC taxpayers to fund a costly recall election won?t improve the quality of life in DC. It won?t stop crime. With the expensive cost of a recall it is important to consider that Ward 6 could be without a representative on the DC council for up to four months. What impact could that have on our neighborhoods and local businesses?
>  
> There is no burning reason to push a recall ahead of his next election. If community members were so outranged, why didn?t anyone run against Charles in 2022? Ward 6 voters have overwhelmingly elected Charles Allen three times.
>  
> Rather, let?s focus on finding ways to work together to build a strong, more unified community. The recall effort will be hiring paid workers to collect signatures. If you are approached, Just Say No.
>  
> No Recall in Ward 6 is just a little more than a week old, but we need your support to help stop this needless recall. #noWard6recall  Website coming soon. Here?s where to contribute: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/noward6recall
