Social Solutions partners with marginalized communities, and the wider public, to create social change that benefits us all. We use technology, media, research and design, community forums, civic engagement and activism to achieve our mission. Out vision is to reduce the incarceration and criminalization rates in Washington D.C. by half in five years (while replacing the pipeline that feeds the cr
iminal justice system with a pipeline that feeds opportunity). We will work to achieve our mission by working with the community to develop innovative interventions focused on Wards 7 and 8. Social Solutions produces the SocEnt: Capitol Innovation Forum, the Capitol Innovation Podcast, The Social Social Innovation Festival and our flagship project, the Captiol Innovation Lab. SocEnt: Capitol Innovation Forum: In collaboration with Busboys and Poets the Capitol Innovation forum provides a space for activists, social entrepreneurs, policy experts, and individual change makers to learn how innovation and technology can solve our region's most pressing social challenges. Forums will feature panel discussions, artistic performances, design thinking exercises, and social media workshops to empower attendees to generate innovative ideas that drive social change. The SocEnt: Capitol Justice Forum takes place the last Sunday of the month at Busboys and Poets Brookland.
