“Early Daycare Closure – Potential Risk of Riots and Rallies”

Published January 27, 2023 at 11:35AM

“Dear PoPville,

Just got this notification from our daycare about an early closure due to risk of riots and rallies.

I saw this news alert that all MPD officers have been activated, but haven’t seen anything official from DC police or other entities.

I’ve never gotten an alert like this. Hopefully this is an intense over abundance of caution – wishing calm, safety, and peaceful activism for our city.”

Updates if/when more info is released from District authorities.
