Join us on Thursday for a community meetingHello neighbors and friends, Summer's ending, but DC's fiscal crisis is heating back up. Today, our Councilmembers come back from their recess. A new revenue forecast for the city is expected later this month, and bad news on that front could trigger another round of budget cuts. As City Council looks to the year ahead, our leaders need to know that we're watching too. We know we won't achieve an economic recovery by slashing funding that helps support our city's most vulnerable residents. We need to build pressure now for smarter and more responsible leadership next year. And we're asking you to help us do that. JOIN US for a Save Our Safety Net community event on Thursday (9/17) 6pm at Busboys and Poets (5th and K treet NW). We'll learn about the budget crisis, discuss alternative courses of action, and identify opportunities for you to make a difference. | ||
