@councilofdc.bsky.social voted to protect our and over 30 other local organizations’ ATJ funding to provide free legal services to people who can’t afford their own! This isn’t just a line item — it’s a $31.1 million promise. To ensure equity in a city where justice is too often out of reach.

Progressive advocates are outside the Wilson Building this morning ahead of a first budget vote in the D.C. Council. They are pushing for tax increases to help spare cuts to programs like the Healthcare Alliance, which insures tens of thousands of residents, many immigrants.

Our government can afford to care for its people. Poverty is not a personal failure; it is a policy failure. We believe in a future where resources are shared fairly, healthcare is a human right, and no one goes hungry.

DC government is united: the Senate got us halfway and the House must finish the job of giving back DC’s authority to spend its *own local funds*. A mid-year cut of $1b would be disastrous – to public safety, education and more. We will keep pressing the House, and you can, too!
