Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee: Certify DC's contingency list to fund essential social programs!
Let DC's Chief Financial Officer know that DC residents want him to certify the contingency budget: In his September revenue forecast, Chief Financial Officer Lee revealed that has an unexpected surplus of funds. With these funds, the CFO is expected to certify DC's contingency budget list containing funding for essential programs to support our community's health, wellbeing, and dignity. Send a letter to the CFO Lee urging him to ensure the contingency budget gets certified so much-needed relief can reach DC residents.

ACLU-DC Staff United

Union members at ACLU-DC have been fighting for close to 3 years for our first contract. This is unacceptable. We’re united in our demands for work-life balance, fair pay, and worker protections. Hear from our members firsthand on why we need a fair contract now. Union rights are civil rights.

We commend the Office of the Attorney General filed a first-of-its-kind RICO lawsuit against slumlord Sam Razjooyan. This sends a strong message to all DC: slumlords are not welcome here!

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it. Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

🚨 Take action now: Ask target Senators to vote no on the disapproval resolution! 🚨 Congress wants to undo local legislation and cost DC $700 million in local revenue, and overturn our efforts to cut child poverty.
