Budget Week of Action

Budget Season is in full swing and there is A LOT going on!

Please come out to support DC families that are being squeezed by raising food, rent and fuel cost. Business Property Owner have already received a $15 M Tax cut; however, City Council is looking for additional revenue to increase the cut; at the same time the budget
doesn't include funding for Local Rent Supplement Program, Emergency Rental Assistance Program nor funding for the Fresh Food Opportunity Bank. And the Housing Production Trust Fund has declined by $30 M.

City Council needs to hear loud and clear that District residents need relief too!

Thursday, May 8th, 9:30 am - 11 am walk-arounds
