RALLY AGAINST MAYOR BOWSER'S BUDGET
Start: Wednesday, June 18, 2025•08:30 AM
Join a wide coalition of community organizations and unions as we rally in front of the DC Council & Mayor's Office to say: DC deserves a budget that puts immigrants above ICE, workers above owners, tenants above landlords, and DC residents above Trump's agenda!
Mayor Bowser's proposed budget attacks ALL of us by:
- Eliminating DC's Sanctuary status and blocking immigrants' access to services
- Increasing the criminalization of youth and of Black and Brown communities
- Gutting the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), weakening tenants' collective bargaining power against landlords, and cutting housing programs
- Repealing Initiative 82, lowering wages of restaurant workers, and lowering labor standards
- Cutting the healthcare coverage of potentially 25,000 Medicaid recipients and of DC Healthcare Alliance users
- Cutting sustainable energy programs and suspending carbon emission reduction standards
- Cutting Paid Family Leave, funding for childcare workers, and youth support programs
- Giving handouts and tax cuts to large corporations and the 1%
- And much more...
Meet us at 8:30am on Wednesday June 18th at the Wilson Building steps to show local officials that we won't let the Mayor's MAGA attacks on our communities stand.
