The DC Local Funds Act (S. 1077) has been held at House Speaker Mike Johnson’s desk since March 18 and every day that goes by costs DC $5.5 million in funding for our schools, first responders, transit, and more.
We need the House to swiftly pass the Senate’s version of this bill to prevent dramatic reductions in services that keep DC running. A bipartisan coalition of leaders agree, and now is the time to make it happen.
On Monday April 7, join Free DC, CARE, the Washington Teachers’ Union, SBOE Reps LaJoy Johnson Law, Ben Williams, and Jacques Patterson, DC Action, the Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO, Empower Ed, DC Shadow Senator Ankit Jain, Rep. Oye Owolewa, and the powerful community of DCPS students and families for Recess at the Capitol Part 2. Join us starting at 9:30 AM at Spirit of Justice Park (South Capitol St. & C St. SW) for a rally followed by a full day of office visits. Come any time and visit offices for as long as you are able and help make sure the House passes this crucial legislation.
