I'm glad you're OK, and so sorry that two drivers almost injured or killed you, especially in such a short timespan.

The Department of For-Hire Vehicles regulates taxis. You may want to contact them directly. See https://dfhv.dc.gov/ .

In the longer term what we need is safer infrastructure, such as e.g. raised crosswalks, virtually everywhere in the city. You can put in a 311 service request ticket to have the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) do a Traffic Safety Investigation (TSI) at a specific intersection, like the two you were almost hit at.

You can also follow up with your Council Member's staff, and with the ANC of that area.

I was going to say reach out to Dept of For-Hire Vehicles as well. I believe you can file complaints with them.

FHV has a very easy way to report it: email dfhv.complaints@dc.gov. I get a reply from a city employee every time and they’ll update you with progress.

God I wish my ANC returned any of my phone calls or emails, ever.
