Join us for DC Emancipation Advocacy Day from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM on Friday, April 16 at U.S. Capitol Building, Capitol Visitors Center, room HVC-215. As the District's only official local holiday, DC Emancipation Day commemorates the day in 1862 on which President Abraham Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act to free the 3,100 enslaved people of Washington, DC. On this day of celebration and unity, we must remember that DC residents are the only Americans who pay full federal taxes, fight and die in wars and serve on juries, but still do not have full congressional representation and full local control over local issues. This year DC Vote needs your help advocating on the Hill for current legislation that will bring DC closer to achieving full democracy. | ||

Why? Because the Mayor's proposed budget for FY2011 makes cuts to vital programs like child care vouchers, adult job training, and domestic violence services. Our safety net is already in tatters, after more than $100 million in cuts in the last two years. We can't afford to cut any more. What? Rally in front of City Hall. Hear Councilmembers speak at the rally about their plans to save the safety net through progressive revenue proposals. Visit Council offices to show the community is behind safety net programs. WEAR RED!!! When? 11:30-1:00 Wednesday, May 5th Where? 1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW. Close to Federal Triangle (orange/blue) and Metro Center (red, orange/blue). Please contact Kristi Matthew to RSVP and get additional information: Kristi@legalclinic.org or 202-328-1262. | ||
