¿Estás en estado de ebriedad? No hay tiempo para conducir: Desafío en vídeo para estudiantes de secundaria de DC

Conducir bajo la influencia del alcohol o las drogas pone en riesgo su vida, la de otras personas en el automóvil y la de otras personas en la carretera. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, cada día mueren 29 personas en los Estados Unidos en accidentes automovilísticos en los que participa un conductor ebrio. Esto equivale a una muerte cada 50 minutos. Y, lamentablemente, uno de cada 10 estudiantes de secundaria conduce bajo los efectos del alcohol. 

Pero podemos ayudar a cambiar esta trayectoria. Hacemos un llamado a los estudiantes de secundaria de DC para que ayuden. 

¿Los discapacitados? El concurso anual de videos No Time to Drive desafía a los estudiantes de secundaria como usted a crear videos cortos para ayudar a informar a sus compañeros sobre las consecuencias de conducir en estado de ebriedad. Estos videos podrían ayudarlo a ganar hasta 10 horas de servicio comunitario que necesita para graduarse y, como beneficio adicional, tendrá la oportunidad de ganar premios. Esperamos que utilice su creatividad para ayudar a explicar a sus compañeros por qué no deberían conducir bajo la influencia del alcohol o las drogas. 

Para el concurso de este año, debe enviar sus videos antes del 1 de marzo de 2024. Los videos ganadores se anunciarán el 18 de marzo de 2024. Los videos se publicarán en la página de YouTube de la Oficina del Procurador General y potencialmente en otras plataformas de redes sociales.

Domestic Worker Employment Rights Program

The Domestic Worker Employment Rights Amendment Act of 2022 established the Domestic Worker Employment Rights Grant Program at the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia (OAG) in fiscal year 2024. The purpose is to provide grants to community-based organizations working to develop educational materials for domestic workers and hiring entities, including safety and health information.

Fiscal Year 2024 Grants      

Through a competitive process two grants were awarded to two DC based organizations working to extend, protect, ensure dignity, respect, fairness, and a safe working environment for domestic workers in the District. Many Languages One Voice, and National Domestic Workers Alliance-DMV Chapter received awards under the Domestic Worker Employment Rights Grant Program.

Many Languages One Voice (MLOV): MLOV is a BIPOC immigrant-led organization that empowers low-income immigrant communities of color in Washington, DC to access opportunities, impact change, and advance immigrant rights. It seeks to address the needs of its members and amplify their voices to find solutions to the systemic inequities that impact their lives. Founded in 2010, MLOV’s mission is to foster leadership and greater civic participation of immigrants who do not speak English as a primary language.

Through the “Immigrant Domestic Worker Rights Project” MLOV seeks to conduct education and outreach to domestic workers, hiring entities, and the public about the rights of domestic workers. This project will focus on reaching domestic workers who are at highest risk for exploitation/unfair labor practices, e.g., BIPOC women, immigrants, those with limited English proficient /non-English proficient, undocumented residents, and those employed by foreign diplomats/international families. This project will deliver: “Know Your Rights” workshops, hazard guidance, community outreach and education in various languages: English, Spanish, Amharic, Chinese, French, and Vietnamese. This proposed work will also integrate workers education and hazard guidance in its existing cohort program, which engages community members over periods of 5 - 18 weeks.

National Domestic Workers Alliance-DMV Chapter (NDWA-DMV Chapter): The NDWA Washington DC-Virginia-Maryland (DMV) Chapter organizes domestic workers for better wages and improved working conditions. The organization also plays a lead role in local coalitions to win rights, recognition, and safety for all low-wage workers. The organization played a key role in winning the DC Domestic Workers Bill of Rights and the Virginia Domestic Workers Bill of Rights — the first Domestic Worker Bill of Rights in the South! Its multilingual membership meetings and leadership development trainings are spaces for domestic workers to build community and deepen skills to lead in the organization, its community, and the domestic worker movement.

Through the “D.C. Domestic Worker Empowerment Initiative” NDWA-DMV Chapter seeks to provide domestic workers with a better understanding of their legal rights and how to put those rights into practice, as well as play a direct role in shaping health and safety guidance in partnership with Georgetown University’s Kalmanovitz Initiative. This program will focus on training domestic workers, conducting outreach to Washington, DC’s domestic workforce and educating workers about their new rights under the newly passed DC Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. The program proposes creating hazard and safety guidance in both English and Spanish, coupled with the creation of a training curriculum to share safety information, based on recommendations and key concerns from domestic workers

Do the Write Thing (DtWT) 2024

What is the Do the Write Thing Challenge?

Do the Write Thing (DtWT) is a national writing program that gives middle school students the chance to speak out about how violence affects their lives and share their ideas about what must be done to stop it. This program allows the students to become community catalysts, as they examine the root causes and impact of youth violence. The Office of the Attorney General has sponsored the program since 2015. Annually, OAG selects two students to serve as Washington DC.’s National Ambassadors, based on their writing. The Ambassadors are honored at the DtWT National Recognition Week in Washington, DC, where they meet with other student ambassadors, senators, and congressmen for discussion on youth violence issues. A book of the writings of each city’s Ambassadors is inducted in United States Library of Congress.

Students Write, We Listen.

The Office of the Attorney General is committed to listening to community members and collaborating with local leaders, and that includes our young people. Each year, students are rising to the challenge of doing something to end youth violence through powerful writings. Through classroom discussions and writings, students communicate what they think should be done to reduce youth violence. In addition, they make personal commitments to do something about this problem.

"We as a community can stop youth violence by showing kids better things in life."

"Social media, rappers, family, and the community have poorly influenced this young generation."

"I feel unprotected when walking to school because you don't know what could happen."

"I know that [my Dad] wouldn't want me crying but I can't help it. He was one of my heroes that I will never forget."

 Below are guidelines and resources about the challenge.

CSSD Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles

Mission

 

 

The District of Columbia Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Services Division (CSSD or Division) is authorized under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act to provide services to assist families.  CSSD helps many families to transition from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and its assistance keeps other families from needing to seek public assistance at all.

The CSSD Mission

CSSD is dedicated to establishing parentage and obtaining child support in order to encourage responsible parenting, family self-sufficiency and child wellbeing and to recognize the essential role of both parents in supporting their children.

The District’s child support program assures that assistance in obtaining support is available to children through locating parents, establishing parentage, establishing and modifying child support obligations, monitoring and enforcing those obligations, and assisting with barriers to employment.

The CSSD Vision

The District of Columbia Child Support Services Division, in order to enhance the lives of the District’s children, is dedicated to strengthening families through the provision of services that result in the establishment of parentage and support, the collection of appropriate and consistent payments, and the promotion of both parents’ involvement with their children.

To that end, the program will provide outstanding customer service to both custodial and noncustodial parents, create a dynamic and innovative work environment, and continue to recognize the value of our employees.

CSSD's Guiding Principles

Children First

We believe in a shared commitment among parents, communities, and agencies to put the wellbeing of children above all else.

Integrity and Ethical Conduct
