   From the President
   By Alexis Glenn, JMCA President

Dear Neighbors,
I hope you are doing as well as we all can. Each month this year seems to bring a new challenge or unexpected hurdle. Some
of us have lost jobs and, more sadly, lost loved ones. Even as our community moves toward opening up businesses and public
spaces, we face many uncertainGes ahead. Will schools fully reopen this fall? Will we be able to travel to see family and
friends? Will we be able to gather and support each other in-person safely? We don’t know, but we need to conGnue to be
vigilant, wear masks in public places, and stay home as much as possible.
In the category of silver-linings, we have experienced an awakening in the past two months. In the wake of horrific and unjust
killings of Black people in police custody, and as people of color suffer the worst consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic,
people across the world are demanding change and jusGce. I see our community standing for change in our front yards, in our
neighborhood streets, downtown at the White House, and in pictures and videos from around the country. We are long
overdue for change. I am here to be an ally and stand in solidarity for those who demand equity now.
On June 23rd, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a moGon for the Fairfax County History
Commission to prepare a report lisGng a full inventory of Confederate street names, monuments, and public places in Fairfax
County and on Fairfax County-owned property.
Our representaGve, Supervisor Rodney Lusk, arer the vote, emphasized that he intends to begin exploring how the County
could change the name of our district, Lee District. Lusk acknowledged that there is some ambiguity over whether or not Lee
District was named for the Confederate General Robert E. Lee or his nephew, Fitzhugh Lee, who was also a Confederate leader
and was born in the Clermont area of Lee District. Regardless, the fact is that there are many public ameniGes in our district
named for Robert E. Lee. The use of his name for our district evokes the atrociGes of American history that pervade our
country and culture today.
As a representaGve of this community and of our ciGzens associaGon, I fully support and will conGnue to publicly encourage
our County government to inventory and remove street names, monuments, and other public ameniGes named for brutal and
racist public figures. These figures idolized in our public space sought to overthrow American democracy and values in the
name of enslaving people. The work to remove these hateful symbols is long overdue and will take longer sGll to complete,
but it is the right thing to do.
Most monuments and naming of public ameniGes came long arer the civil war when Jim Crow laws were being implemented
and the KKK was gaining power in America. The people who sought to memorialize Confederate traitors did so intenGonally to
reframe the history not as a fight to conGnue enslavement, but as a “states-rights” fight. This revisionist history has
aggressively permeated American culture in the last 100+ years.
We should not and will no longer be so naive as to how and why the names and monuments to American traitors sGll stand
today. They make oppression defensible and obscure the truth about our history. They normalize one group’s sense of
                                                              superiority over another. They honor people who conspired
                                                                against our values.
                                                                 I don’t doubt there will be tough conversaGons and
                                                                 challenges to my point of view from neighbors or other
                                                                 residents in Fairfax County. I share this le#er so you know
                                                                 where I stand and how I intend to advocate as a
                                                                 representaGve of Jefferson Manor. I hope you will take the
                                                                 opportunity to support these changes in whatever way you
                                                                 can.

July/August 2020

 De la Presidenta
 By Alexis Glenn, Presidenta de la JMCA

EsGmados vecinos:
Espero que estén bien, dentro de lo que queda. Cada mes este año parece traernos retos o obstáculos nuevos. Algunos de
nosotros hemos perdido nuestro empleo y, lo que es más triste, otros han perdido seres queridos. Mientras que nuestra
comunidad empieza a re-abrir negocios y espacios públicos, nos enfrentamos a mucha incerGdumbre. ¿Abrarán escuelas
completamente este otoño? ¿Se va a poder viajar a visitar parientes y amigos? ¿Será posible juntarnos cara a cara y
apoyarnos seguramente? Aún no se sabe, pero hay que mantenernos atentos, usar cobrebocas en espacios públicos, y
quedarnos en casa lo tanto posible.
A pesar de los desayos que hemos enfrentado, durante estos úlGmos dos meses hemos visto una gran concienciación social.
Tras el horrible e injusto asesinato de afroamericanos bajo custodia policial, y mientras que gente de color sufre las peores
consecuencias de la pandemia, gente por todo el mundo está exigiendo cambio y jusGcia. He visto a nuestra comunidad de
pie, exigiendo estos cambios desde nuestros paGos de enfrente, desde la calle, alrededor de la Casa Blanca, y en las fotos y
videos por todo el país. Hace ya mucho que debíamos haber visto estos cambios. Estoy aquí para ser una aliada y
solidarizarme con aquellos que exigen equidad ahora.
El 23 de junio, la Junta direcGva de supervisores del Condado de Fairfax aprobó por unanimidad una resolución para que la
Comisión de la Historia del Condado de Fairfax prepare un informe incluyendo un inventario de calles, monumentos, y
espacios públicos en el condado de Fairfax que sean relacionados con La Confederación.
Nuestro representante, Supervisor Rodney Lusk, después del voto, destacó que pretende explorar cómo el condado pueda
cambiar el nombre de nuestro distrito, Lee District. Lusk reconoció que existe ambigüedad sobre si Lee District fue nombrado
como reconocimiento del general confederado Robert E. Lee o su sobrino, Fitzhugh Lee, quién también fue un líder de La
Confederación y nació el el área de Lee District conocido como Clermont. De todas formas, es innegable que hay muchos
bienes públicos en nuestro distrito que llevan el nombre de Robert E. Lee. El uso de su nombre en nuestro distrito evoca las
atrocidades de la historia estadounidense que impregnan nuestro país y nuestra cultura hoy en día.
Como representante de esta comunidad y de nuestra asociación, yo apoyo plenamente y conGnuaré exigiendo al gobierno
del condado que realice el labor de catalogar y quitar los nombres de las calles, monumentos, y otros bienes públicos
nombrados por figuras públicas brutales y racistas. Se idolizan en nuestros espacios públicos estos personajes que intentaron
derribar la democracia norteamericana y sus valores para que permaneciera la esclavitud. El labor para quitar estos símbolos
de odio ha tomado mucho Gempo en realizarse y tomará mucho Gempo para terminar, pero es lo correcto.
La mayoría de estos monumentos y bienes públicos fueron nombrados mucho Gempo después de la Guerra Civil cuando las
leyes racistas de Jim Crow fueron puestas en vigor y la KKK estaba aumentando su poder en el país. La gente que quiso
conmemorar a los traidores de La Confederación lo hicieron con la intención de alterar la historia de la guerra no como un
conflicto para preservar la esclavitud, sino como una lucha para defender los “derechos de los estados”. Esta historia
revisionista ha permeado agresivamente la cultura estadounidense por más de un siglo.
No deberíamos y yo no seremos tan ingenuos en cuanto a cómo y por qué los nombres y monumentos a los traidores
estadounidenses siguen en pie hoy. Hacen que la opresión sea defensible y oscurecen la verdad sobre nuestra historia.
Normalizan el senGdo de superioridad de un grupo sobre otro. Honran a las personas que conspiraron contra nuestros
valores.
No dudo que habrá conversaciones diyciles y desayos a mi punto de vista por parte de vecinos u otros residentes del
Condado de Fairfax. Comparto esta carta para que se sepa cuál es mi opinión y cómo pretendo representar a Jefferson
Manor. Espero que toman esta oportunidad para apoyar estos cambios de la forma que puedan.
                                                                              Que estén bien y se mantengan seguros,

                                                                              Alexis

abounded, as neighbors came outside to congregate for the first Gme since March. The event was so popular that the cookie
truck quickly sold out.

                                                                 If your home is currently on the market this is not an attempt to solicit.

Jefferson Manor Neighborhood News

                       Tips from Neighborhood Watch
Jefferson Manor has remained relaGvely free of crime over the past 6 months, I’d like to think in part because of the strength of
the community and limiGng our vicGm potenGal. Our homes are looking less inviGng for crime, with many COVID-related
improvement projects underfoot. Law enforcement pracGces, reform, and community engagement conGnue to be an area of
interest for many residents in our community. This interest has brought with it, some great discussion. COVID-19 has sidelined
in person events like NaGonal Night Out (a fun outdoor event designed to bring communiGes and law enforcement together),
Neighborhood Watch trainings, and other community/government gatherings. Neighborhood Watch has shired largely to the
social media pla•orm as well, allowing more residents to contribute. While crime remains low in our immediate area, here are
some helpful reminders:
    •   Lock your home and VEHICLE doors! Don’t invite a crime of opportunity. All of us might forget this criGcal step,
        checking that doors are locked before bedGme is a helpful approach. This is the number one reported crime in our area
    •   Know your neighbors, and how to reach them when they are not home. You can alert them to suspicious acGvity.
    •   Be mindful when you go out of town. Knowing your neighbors can also assist with newspaper collecGon and
        monitoring for suspicious acGvity. Some suggest avoiding posGng travel plans on social media sites.
    •   Keep your yard and home well maintained and encourage your neighbors to do the same. Neighborhoods in disrepair
        invite addiGonal crime.
    •   Close your windows and blinds at night, to limit display of personal items that might be a#racGve to a criminal.
    •   Pay a#enGon to lighGng on your street. Keep porch lights on, uGlize landscape and moGon sensor lighGng when
        possible. Report street lights that are out.
    •   Get to know your neighborhood through outdoor acGvity. Walking through the neighborhood may encourage more
        social behavior where people can become more comfortable spending Gme with one another while out in the Manor!
    •   When voicing crime concerns on social media, please use facts only. Avoid opinion and commentary that detract from
        the root cause/objecGve of the post.
    •   Many local faciliGes offer secure package pickup, if you are concerned about package ther. Please also remember
        delivery personnel oren make mistakes that could be misconstrued as crime.
    •   Install a camera or security system. There are many inexpensive opGons available and they have proven to be
        instrumental in lowering certain crimes. Many systems offer remote monitoring on a variety of devices, and don’t
        require monthly fees.

  If you are the vic=m of a crime or see suspicious ac=vity, you are encouraged to call the Fairfax County
                               Police Non-Emergency Line at (703) 691-2131.

                    If you are witnessing a crime or emergency in progress, please call 911!

If you have quesGons or concerns for the Jefferson Manor neighborhood, email jeffersonmanorwatch@gmail.com.

Remember that we live in a great neighborhood, with a strong sense of community, yet we are situated in a major
metropolitan area that is subject to transient crime. Let’s lower our vicGm potenGal and keep our neighborhood clean and safe
by following some or all the steps above.

                                                 Stay safe folks!

Consejos del Neighborhood Watch (Vigilancia Comunitaria)
Jefferson Manor se ha mantenido relaGvamente libre de delitos durante los úlGmos seis meses, considero que esto se debe en
parte a la fortaleza de nuestra comunidad y el nivel bajo de vulnerabilidad de la comunidad. Los muchos proyectos de mejora
relacionado al COVID-19 han hecho que nuestras cases se ven menos atracGvas para los delincuencia. Las prácGcas de
aplicación de la ley, la reforma y la parGcipación comunitaria conGnúan siendo un área de interés para muchos vecinos. Este
interés ha generado una gran discusión. El COVID-19 ha causado la cancelación de varios eventos en persona como el NaGonal
Night Out (un diverGdo evento al aire libre diseñado para unir a las comunidades con la policía), capacitaciones del
Neighborhood Watch y otras reuniones de la comunidad con oficiales del gobierno local. Neighborhood Watch también se ha
ajustado en gran medida a la plataforma de redes sociales, permiGendo que más vecinos contribuyan a la organización. Si bien
el índice de crimen sigue siendo bajo en nuestro área inmediata, aquí hay algunos consejos úGles:
   •   ¡Cierra las puertas de tu casa y tu vehículo! No invites al crimen oportunísGco. Es un paso críGco verificar que las
       puestas estan cerradas antes de acostarse en la noche. Estos Gpos de delitos son los más comunes en nuestro área.
   •   Conozca a tus vecinos y cómo comunicarte con ellos si no están en casa. Puedes ponerte en contacto con ellos en caso
       de que veas algo sospechoso.
   •   Toma precauciones cuando vayas de viaje. Tus vecinos pueden recolectar periódicos y monitorear acGvidades
       sospechosas. Es una buena prácGca no publicar sus planes de viaje o iGnerario en redes sociales.
   •   Mantén el jardín y el hogar en buena condición y pide a tus vecinos a que hagan lo mismo. Los vecindarios en mal
       estado invitan a la delincuencia.
   •   Cierra tus ventanas y persianas en la noche para limitar la exhibición de ar‚culos personales que puedan ser atracGvos
       para un delincuente.
   •   Presta atención al alumbrado de tu calle. Mantén las luces del porche encendidas, uGlice luces externas con sensores de
       movimiento cuando sea posible. Informe a las autoridades cuando las luces de la calle están apagadas.
   •   Conozca tu vecindario a través de acGvidades al aire libre. Caminar por el vecindario puede fomentar un mayor
       comportamiento social donde las personas pueden senGrse más cómodas cuando socializan con otros miembros del
       vecindario.
   •   Cuando expreses inquietudes sobre delitos en las redes sociales, favor de únicamente incluir los hechos. Evita incluir
       opiniones y comentarios que resten valor al objeGvo de tu comentario.
   •   Muchos negocios locales ofrecen un servicio de recogida segura de paquetes, si te preocupa el robo de paquetes.
       Recuerdate también que el personal de entrega a menudo comete errores que podrían interpretarse erróneamente
       como delitos.
   •   Instale una cámara o Sistema de seguridad. Hay muchas opciones baratas disponibles y hay evidencia de que pueden
       ser importantes para reducir algunos Gpos de delitos. Muchos de estos sistemas ofrecen monitoreo remoto en una
       variedad de disposiGvos, y no cobran mensualidades.

 Si eres víc=ma de un delito o si ves algo sospechoso, llama al número de no emergencias de la Policia de
                                          Fairfax, al (703) 691-2131.

                         Si estás viendo un delito o emergencia, ¡favor de llamar al 911!

vecindario limpio y seguro, siguiendo los pasos mencionados previamente.

                                               ¡Cuídense todos!
