Last week, the Senate passed the DC Local Funds Act (S. 1077), which would restore DC’s power over our local budget.
Now the House has to pass this bill. With unanimous bipartisan support in the Senate, we are cautiously optimistic that this bill will move forward. But we need to do more than just hope that’s what happens — we need to put in the work to see it through to the finish line.
Join us on Tuesday, March 25 to visit key House offices and encourage them to pass the DC Local Funds Act. Meet us at the Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2136 (office of Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton), any time between 10 AM and 3 PM to get an office assignment and a letter to deliver. Let us know you’ll join.
