Thank you for showing up strongly to oppose HR 9720, which would be a major incursion on DC’s right to self-govern. This bill is the third attack on DC’s ability to budget in less than two years, and it is another attempt to destabilize DC.

Today is the 2nd budget vote. We're here to raise our voices and remind council that DC deserves an economy & a safety net that supports us in uncertain times. We know that wealth exists in DC, & if we raised revenue we could cover the programs that our city deserves.
